Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm 99% sure that when I use to use the OPEN command (not initially, but after starting work on a specific file) AutoCAD would return to that last folder I opened that file from... Now, it seems at some point AutoCAD remembers a certain folder (for some reason) and always returns to that folder.
Its frustrating for a few reasons, one being that I'm use to the old way, and when I go to save or saveas a file, I forget that I'm not in the folder I'm working in and I save in that folder that AutoCAD has chosen to default to.
REMEMBERFOLDERS isn't the solution
Thanks in advance for any help
My system opens the last folder where I saved to. Not the last folder I opened from.
I wasn't completely clear on how my folders are setup. I guess my post doesn't really make sense without that little piece of info... I use the "FAVORITES" option (to the left of the OPEN dialogue box) and save the folders I am currently working in most often. AutoCAD use to goto the last folder opened from... but somewhere along the line it settles on a default folder and always opens to it.
REMEMBERFOLDERS = 0 is the solution, what do you have yours set to?

If something I wrote can be interpreted two ways, and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, I meant the other one.
Thanks for the input GP but thats not the solution... I've tried it set to 0 and to 1, neither solves my issue. Also, I'm in 2013
