What error message are you getting?
What exact software and year version are you using?

Are you just missing the pop-up?

What does the comamndline show when you do SAVEAS?

Yes, the pop-up is missing.

The comamndline doesn´t show anything. It doesn´t appear the classical window to save the job.

You may try the following

Copy this to command line and click enter key. Then try saveas again.

(setvar "filedia" 1)

Note: I don't think this is the cause as AutoCAD is just installed and the value of filedia should be 1 by default. However, it is worth to try.

You may also press F2 key to turn on command/text window.
Do you use multiple screens? If this is the case, check any message on other screen.

Everything is fixed. The problem was FILEDIA. It was in 0.

Thank you very much.

Hi,

from post 11:

>> The comamndline doesn´t show anything

from previous post:

>> The problem was FILEDIA. It was in 0

SCNR: then your command-line asked for a filename after you started command _SAVEAS!

AutoCAD is communicating with the user, to see the command-line is most important to identify the current state of AutoCAD. If you can't see this (e.g. because of disabled command-line) you might lose important informations about your work.

Alfred, good day True, the command line was off. I activated it by clicking on VIEW - PALETTES. Is it necessary to make some other correction? Thank you very much for your invaluable help.

Hi,

Not if all is working as you expect it. 😉

I just wanted to mention the importance of the command-line for future readers ... also as it is necessary to get as much info's as possible (and correct info's) to be able to support you.
