Suppress Previous Release Popup Windows?

[Anonymous]

Hello,

What was the system variable that suppresses the previous version popup
in 2002? I just installed 2002 for someone else and I can't remember what it
was called... Anybody know?

In case I need to clarify, this is the warning window that pops up when you
open a drawing made in a previous version (such as 2000) and basically tells
you that if you were to save the drawing as the version you are working in,
it won't work for the previous versions, blah blah blah...

Try this, go to options under the system tab and clear the check mark next
to show all warning messages.

No, I know there is a specific Sys variable that affects only these
particular messages. I used it on my current setup that I installed a long
while ago but I can't remember what it is now.

I don't want to send a nuke in to kill them all, I just want to snipe
that one...

I finally had to look it up myself. In the ADT 3.3 FAQ, it is in section
8, and the answer is:

AECFILEOPENMESSAGE

Now I can set it up right.

In hindsight, I realize that this was not the right group post this in.
I thought it was general AutoCAD, but it really is an Architectural Desktop
issue. Objects in R2 drawings are different from objects in R3.3 drawings
and it has nothing to do with vanilla AutoCAD. My mistake.

If a moderator runs across this posting, feel free to relocate it the
aec.arch-desktop3 where it would more appropriately belong.

Thanks,

Which would, of course, explain why no one was able to answer my
question....

could it be that it's the EXPERT system variable?
