Browse for dwg file selection

[Ajilal.Vijayan]

Hai,

To get the 'File Selection dialog box' in AutoCAD via LISP, which command should I use other than 'GETFILED' ?

I have a program which using GETFILED to select the drawing file , but I think this dialog box size is too small to browse folder/file , as you cant see the favorites list and you cant resize the dialog box.

Thanks

Express Tool utility:

You need this fas file loaded .

"acetutil2.fas"<----- 

(setq file (acet-ui-getfile
                      "Open file"
                      ""
                      "dwg"
                      "Drawing files"
                      8))

Hai ,

Thanks for the reply.

Yeah this was the one , which I was looking for.

As you mean by acetutil2.fas should be loaded , I think if you have Express tools in your AutoCAD this fas file should load automatically....is that right ?

Thanks for your help...
