File open dialogue box with selected list of files

[Anonymous]

Hi guys, hope everyone is well.

I feel like this is so common it has already been addressed but I've searched and searched with no joy.  So, apologies in advance if I missed something glaringly obvious.

What I would like is a lisp routine that would produce a dialogue box, populated with a list of half a dozen drawings/files that I could then click on to instantly open.

I open and begin all my jobs from the same template file but then I need to constantly refer/open other drawings to refer to and to copy blocks and details from etc.  My boss won't change anything that might make our lives easier so these DWGs that contain the needed blocks and details etc are scatterred everywhere.  Some on local drives but buried deep inside 47 different subfolders while some are in network locations and servers etc.  Obviously I can make links or favourites to all of them within windows explorer but as I will do this task at least a dozen times on each job, I would love to keep it all in AutoCad.

I have found and tried to read up on some works by Lee Mac such as 'List Box' and 'Get Files Dialogue' but its turned out to be well above my paygrade.

I just want to conjure up a dialogue box that maybe refers to a text file (I'm just guessing here) or some pre-saved location that contains a list of drawings to choose from.  Then I could add the drawings/files I want to appear in the dialogue box.

Again, I'm sorry if this has been addressed elsewhere and I apologise I'm now dumping my lisp coding ineptitude on you guys.

Hopefully this isn't too difficult for someone here. Thanks for reading.
