Repeated export to PDF to same folder

I just upgraded from Autocad Map 3D 2014 to 2015.  In my job I export to PDF repeatedly to a file structure where the files are stored by building #.  In the 2014 version, after I exported the first .DWG file to a specific folder, when I went to export the 2nd & 3rd files the Dialogue window came back up to the same folder automatically. (In the below example, after exporting First_Floor.PDF to [Bldg 2000] the next export dialogue box would show the [Bldg 2000] folder's files.)   In the 2015 version, I have to repeatedly work my way back through the file structure every time.

 

[PDF Files]

[Bldg 1000]

[Bldg 2000]

First_Floor.PDF

Second_Floor.PDF

Third_Floor.PDF

[Bldg 3000]

etc.

 

Is there some sort of global variable that sets this?  I have been through lots of help screens and can't seem to find a setting that fixes that.  My file structure would look something like the following:  (Folders are in brackets.)

Hi,

 

not tried, just a guess: look to sysvar REMEMBERFOLDERS (>>>details<<<), does that help?

Thanks for your suggestion, but it didn't work.  If I "print" to PDF instead of exporting it seems to work ok, so I have a work around.  But I'd prefer to export if anyone has a solution.  Just a personal preference I guess.  Thanks again!
