Dialog box for OPEN not showing - FILEDIA=1
« on: May 18, 2023, 09:12:04 AM »
After a quick search, I did not find a current post on this.


AutoCAD 2022 - after running a script where I set FILEDIA=0, did my thing, and set FILEDIA=1, the dialog box does not show up.  Checking FILEDIA at the command line shows = 1.
Hitting the ' ~ ' at command prompt does not bring up the box either.  Has anyone else had this happen?  The only way to get the dialog box back is to quit AutoCAD and re-open.

I have found and I don't know why sometimes the CMDDIA gets flipped to 0 also.

yeah, my script sets and un-sets that one as well.  Both are set to 1, and the file box wont open.  Not the end of the world, but annoying

Of all things, it was because I needed to set my file type as ACAD2013
As soon as I set back to 2018, problem went away
