Invalid file name

[Anonymous]

I installed Autocad 2019 over 2016 and 2018 and now 2019 can't find or open any of my existing dwg files.  I get an error message of invalid file name or invalid path.  The path is a Nas box I use for storing my files.  When I take a dwg and copy it to the desktop or to dropbox, etc. everything seems to work fine.  What setting to I have to change to get working again?

Are you trying to open them from the start tab recent documents images?  If so those are just shortcuts so when something changes they will not work or update. You will need to open them with the open file option and then the new image in recent documents will work after that.

HI @Anonymous,

What file protocol is in place when using the NAS?  While this is not a supported configuration, I suggest trying SMB3 with packet signing turned off to see if that helps.
