In C3d 2018. I'm getting this same prompt. I'm typing in "FILEDIA" and it says "cannot find specified drawing.." What should I do?

Now I can tell there are more people saying the same as I do. I heard there are other softwares with more commom sense in their programing than this one. For Autodesk: K. I. S. S. (Keep It Simple Stupid).

Typing in this option also works for the original AutoCAD program, not just AutoCAD Civil

Yes it does as Civil is built on AutoCAD.....in fact pretty much all the original AutoCAD commands work in Civil...!!!!!

It has been a while since I had this problem and posted this question so I do not recall for sure.

for your question have you typed in sysvarmonitor (for system variable monitor) on the command line?

when I do this I get the System Variable Monitor box where I can change the variables or reset them all.

I believe I have reset them all before when I was having that problem  and it resolved the issue.

If the problem you are having is that you can not open a drawing using the 'open drawing' icon and it is wanting you to type the name of the drawing to open in the command line I think I fixed this issue before by opening the system variable monitor box and changing the FILEDIA variable to 1.  I think you can do this directly on the command line also by typing filedia and entering 1.  

hope this is helpful.
