Repeat External Command

[Anonymous]

I CAN'T FIX COMMAND FILEDIA, IT'S ALLWAYS IN <0> AND I HAVE TO CHANGE TO <1> EVERY DAY 10 OR 20 TIMES. IS IT A WAY TO LEAVE THIS IN <1> LIKE NORMAL? THANKS A LOT

Hi,

welcome @Anonymous.autodesk.com!

First guess is you have a tool, an application or a script running which turns FILEDIA off, but then not back to ON.

SystemVariables not restored to the original value happens also sometimes if you start LISP-tools (e.g. like MVSETUP sometimes PICKFIRST will be set to 0 and not back to it's previous value) and you interrupt the execution with <ESC> instead of going through the command until completed normally.

Welcome to the Forums

Sounds like you have a corrupted registry setting

This is where you need to look in the registry. Obviously the red text will be different for you

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Autodesk\AutoCAD LT\R17\ACADLT-A001:409\FixedProfile\General Configuration

There should be a DWORD value there called FileDialog. It needs to be set to 1

Do you have any customization for AutoCAD?  Apply the below to the end of your startup LSP routine.

(setvar "filedia" 1)

If the registry edit tip above did not work, and you are running a current version of AutoCAD, turn on SYSMON (set it to 2) and AutoCAD will notify you immediately after it is changed then you can figure out what tool/function turned it off for you.
