Current drawing directory name

[Anonymous]

In LISP code, how do I get the directory name of the current drawing into a string variable?

[Anonymous]

(setq folder (vl-filename-directory (getvar "dwgprefix")))

Jason,

Is there a reason you add the 'vl-filename-directory'?

Command: (getvar "dwgprefix")
"C:\\Documents and Settings\\---\\My Documents\\"

Command: (vl-filename-directory (getvar "dwgprefix"))
"C:\\Documents and Settings\\---\\My Documents"

On second look, I suppose the only difference is the trailing \\.
How important it is to the OP, I'm not sure.

True. I thought maybe you saw something else happen once, and you started
using that way by default.

Thanks for the clarification Jason.
