    Saving a drawing file in Map 3D 2009

    Recently I have not been able to use the 'save as' command. Normally it brings up the browse window and you can select the location you want to save the file. Now instead of the window a text box appears at my cursor with the file location written in text format. So if I want to save it to another location I have to type in the location manually. Any thoughts on why this might be happening or what I can do to get my window back up?

    Type "filedia" in the command line and enter "1"

    Hi willwieler5847,

    You did something like cancel a Map command which for its purposes had
    set Filedia to 0, and by cancelling you stopped the command from
    resetting the value back to 1.

    Nest time it happens type a Tilda "~" and this will bring up the dialog
    box. Then when you've finished with the file dialog box set Filedia
    back to 1

    You'll be pleased to know that this is the most popular question asked
    in these newsgroups. It has turned up several times already this year.

    Regards
