I'm not completely sure what Create Open Drawing Folder means, but this macro opens Windows Explorer to the folder in which the current drawing resides.

^C^C(COMMAND ".BROWSER" (GETVAR "DWGPREFIX"))

Not sure EXACTLY what you're after, but I use this.
I will open Windows Explorer to the current drawing directory and highlight the opened drawing.


(STARTAPP (strcat "EXPLORER /select, " (getvar "dwgprefix") (getvar "dwgname")", /e"))

(STARTAPP (strcat "EXPLORER /select, " (getvar "dwgprefix") (getvar "dwgname")", /e"))

Damn, that's cool! I just use (STARTAPP "EXPLORER" (GETVAR "DWGPREFIX")), but think I'll steal yours.

Uhhh.... yeah... it.... ummm... doesn't really do that.  It, uhhh... reformats your hard drive.  Yeah... that's it.  And it.... it has sex with your wife when you're not home.    Yeah, that's the ticket.

What is the benefit of highlighting the file that you have open?

Where can I find info on the various switches that I could use?
