Lost Open Drawing Dialog Box

[kayak]

When I try to open an existing drawing, I no longer get the dialog box, only the path of the current drawing in the command line. Any ideas?

Sounds like your variable "FILEDIA" is set to 0 (zero).

Try this:
command: FILEDIA <enter> 1 <enter>

Now try to open a drawing.

Thanks Ted. That did it.

I recommend setting CMDDIA to 1 as well. Most of the time it's FILEDIA that's set to 0 but occasionally CMDDIA gets reset to 0 as well. Make sure both of them are set to 1.

I even added a line to reset those two variables to 1 in a lisp routine that loads with every drawing that gets opened. Looks something like this:

(setvar "filedia" 1)
(setvar "cmddia" 1)
