Is their a way that when I save my drawing I can name it without the ".dwg attaching to the end of the name. It is attaching it automatically and I do not want it to happen.
Can anybody help?

Hi

Have to ask the question, Why?

How would AutoCAD be able to Open / Read the file without a .dwg extension (or any extension)?

With LISP or VBA you could probably achieve what you're after....

Would you like me to move this thread to one of the following Forums where I believe you would receive more appropriate assistance / help -

AutoLISP Forum (http://forums.augi.com/forumdisplay.php?f=91)

VBA Forum (http://forums.augi.com/forumdisplay.php?f=92)

If yes, please pick one; I will then happily move the thread to your chosen location.

Have a good one, Mike

You could possibly just have explorer not show the file extensions?

Thank you for the response. This questions was asked of my by one of our dealers, and without spending lots of time of researching it, I quickly posted this question. Having windows the suppress extension name would be a very good fix.

Thanks for all you help & have a great day
