Now I can tell there are more people saying the same as I do. I heard there are other softwares with more commom sense in their programing than this one. For Autodesk: K. I. S. S. (Keep It Simple Stupid).

Typing in this option also works for the original AutoCAD program, not just AutoCAD Civil

after i get : No system variable changed **** . what can i do abour it ?

[Anonymous]

It has been a while since I had this problem and posted this question so I do not recall for sure.

for your question have you typed in sysvarmonitor (for system variable monitor) on the command line?

when I do this I get the System Variable Monitor box where I can change the variables or reset them all.

I believe I have reset them all before when I was having that problem  and it resolved the issue.

If the problem you are having is that you can not open a drawing using the 'open drawing' icon and it is wanting you to type the name of the drawing to open in the command line I think I fixed this issue before by opening the system variable monitor box and changing the FILEDIA variable to 1.  I think you can do this directly on the command line also by typing filedia and entering 1.  

hope this is helpful.
