I'm sure it's a simple explanation but what sysvar could have changed that is causing AutoCAD to ignore the file name argument? When I pass this command the dialog window has started to pop up.

Code - Auto/Visual Lisp: [Select]

1. (vl-cmdf "_.-etransmit" "_c" (strcat (getvar 'dwgprefix)(vl-filename-base (getvar 'dwgname))".zip"))

Strange, it works for me, but try this:

Code: [Select]

(setvar "cmdecho" 1)
(command "_.-etransmit" "_c" (strcat (getvar 'dwgprefix)(vl-filename-base (getvar 'dwgname))".zip"))

You can at least see what is happening with the command prompt this way (press F2 if you don't see everything), perhaps it will make it more apparent what is happening.

Command: nil
It's almost like it doesn't see the filename argument as being a valid option. I did confirm it's limited to my installation, the troubleshooting process continues.

With "FILEDIA" set to "0", it works as expected but setting it back to the default of "1" brings the popup dialog.

Resorted to a reset to default settings which have appeared to resolve this issue
