This is also a problem for me as well. I know that AutoCad 2007 on Windows XP we could make the dialog box stay the same size as previously set. I would really like to know about a fix for this on as well.
Hey,
thanks for your suggestion.
i tried it in AutoCAD MEP 2011, but the size of this dialog last used could be remembered on my side.
so can you attach some images for the dialogs which could not remember the last used size? so that i can understand correctly.
I found reg keys for height and width in the following location on my system.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Autodesk\AutoCAD\R18.1\ACAD-9006:409\Profiles\AutoCAD MEP (US Imperial)\Dialogs\Select File
OK, Please - what do you do with the HKEY info. Anything I mess up I have to have my sysadmin fix BTW....
Thanks in advance.
Maybe I can get him to adjust this. Editing atttribute blocks is beyond tedious when you have to expand the dialog every time. We have some quite large ones.
This problem happened to me when I moved AutoCAD to my secondary monitor. If you keep AutoCAD on your primary monitor, it will remember the File Open dialog box size.
