    Default Viewing the entire drawing path on the header

    Is there a way to view the entire drawing path on the top header line.
    When I open a drawing I see Autodesk Architectural Desktop 2005 - (File Name)
    I want to expend the File name to include the entire path to the file.???

    Right click on the command line, select options, pick the open and save tab. In the upper right hand corner there is a check box for "display full path in title". Pick that box.
    Hope this helps.

    On the flip side, someone once asked me to display some kind of note that if they wanted to see the path, they had to ask the IT dept. So I wrote them a vba macro that displayed whatever they wanted in the titlebar.

    There is a command that lists all the steps taken in creating a drawing. I don't know that command.
    If I can see the list of steps taken, I may be able to trace where it went wrong.

    I am using Acad 2004 and I don't have a check box for "display full path in title"

    There isn't a "command". But everything you type at the command line is saved. Open the command window using F2.
