    Default dialog boxes missing

    I know it a simple command variable but can't think of it at the moment. None of my dialog boxes come up and I don't want to keep typing in the command line. Does any one know how to turn them back on?

    set CMDDIA = 1


    (I can't believe it - "dialog boxes" returns nil results in the FAQs)

    Hi John,

    I got a result when searching the forum AutoCAD FAQ's (is it possible you were searching Forum FAQS)

    Hi

    Plus look at the following thread in the AutoCAD FAQ forum...

    When trying to open a drawing, the dialog box does not display

    Have a good one, Mike

    ATTDIA ... CMDDIA ... FILEDIA controls the display of the file open dialog. When you encounter this you can also type ~ on the command line to display the dialog even if FILEDIA is set to 0.
