Make sure FILEDIA is set to 1:
Command: FILEDIA
Enter new value for FILEDIA <0>: 1
Command:
Post back if that doesn't work.
Thank you. I knew that but was not smart enough to get a DWG open first from explorer. Once again thank you.
Also, in that situation, you can enter a tilde (~) at the prompt asking for a drawing name and it will bring up the dialog box, but doing so doesn't change FILEDIA for future operations.

Placing the following code into your ACADDOC.LSP file will help reduce this problem. It can still happen during the current drawing, but opening another drawing or starting a new drawing should return the FILEDIA system variable back to the expected setting.
Code:(if (zerop (getvar "FILEDIA")) (setvar "FILEDIA" 1))
If you have a technical question, please find the appropriate forum and ask it there.
You will get a quicker response from your fellow AUGI members than if you sent it to me via a PM or email.

Of course, this will not change the FILEDIA system variable. The next time you try to open a file you would need to enter the ~ again to get the dialog box.Originally Posted by timcreary
