Hi All;
Quick question, and hopefully a quick fix. I’ve done something to change the way I opening drawings, I don’t know what I did but I would really like to change it back.
 When I am working in AutoCad if I click on the ‘open drawing” icon (top left corner) or try to open a drawing from the drop down menu AutoCad prompts me with “enter name of drawing to open” It use to open a folder that I could browse through. That’s what I would like to get back. I can still open drawings but I have to open the folder, locate the drawings from there and then double click to open. In addition to that I can not do “save as” within AutoCad, I have to make a copy of the drawing in the designated folder and then change the name… It’s a real pain. If anyone has any info on the fit for this, I would be very appreciative. |
