how to create a shortcut in open or save as window to point to recent files or folders ie Windows 10 quick access?

Hi

Does anyone know how do you do the above??? I cannot figure it out..

Because of multi tasking Id like to access the recent folders or files that I've been working on. Shouldnt have Autocad created this shortcut by default for Windows 10??

Hi,

i suggest to try REMEMBERFOLDERS system variable . check this link and see if it's help . >> Click <<

default setting of remembering the last used folder is not what Im looking to do.

What I want to do is create a shortcut in the left grey area of the window below to open or save as a dwg in the "recent files" or "frequent folders" that Windows 10 points to in the quick access area. How do I do that?

To follow up it's called a "places" item when adding to that grey area...

you can select and drag the folder that you want in that grey area ( Quick access ) to pin it there. also if do you want to change it just right click and select unpin from quick access .

Awesome that did it, drag and drop quick access to "places" white area....

Just in case someone reading this does not quite get "gray area" being discussed...
