Not enough room to display the full file path!

Is there a lisp routine or something available that will scroll or pop-up the full file path when you hover your cursor on the AutoCAD the title bar? Because there is often not enough space in my title bar for AutoCAD to show the entire File path...

File names can get quite long regardless of what you do. I almost always include a file and pathname field value in my layout templates so if I get curious about what I'm working on (occasional ADD :) ) I can just look at the border of the template and there it is in full glory.

Because file paths on our network can be rather long I added this item to a Ribbon Panel dropdown:
Name: $(getvar,dwgprefix) $(getvar,dwgname)
Macro: ^C^C^P(princ(strcat(getvar "dwgprefix") (getvar "dwgname")))(princ)
I can see it without picking it or pick it to put it on the command line in case I wanted to copy the path to email the location to someone.

You can use this menu macro to open Windows Explorer to the location of the current drawing (http://cadpanacea.com/node/158)


^C^C(startapp "explorer" (strcat "/e, "(getvar "dwgprefix")));

Thanks Tom,
I wasn't sure how to add it to a Ribbon Panel dropdown but I created a new command using the macro you posted and added it to my quick access toolbar. Now when I pick my new icon and it shows the full file path of the current dwg in the command line. Thanks!
