Filedia Not working in 2021

From Upgrading from AutoCAD 2020 to AutoCAD 2021, I have found that the Filedia is not working on a customised routine.

In AutoCAD2020 when setting the filedia to “0” it Does not display dialog boxes.

In AutoCAD2021 still setting Filedia to “0” using the same routine it brings the display dialog boxes.

Please see routines below. And screen cast

Command: -insert

Enter block name or [?] <A1 Title Block>: "W:/Cad Dept/CAD Data/Block Library/Title Blocks/Blank Block Files/A1 Landscape Title Block"

Specify insertion point or [Basepoint/Scale/X/Y/Z/Rotate]: 0,0

Enter X scale factor, specify opposite corner, or [Corner/XYZ] <1>:

That is not about FILEDIA but rather about ATTREQ or ATTDIA.

Fine,

you found your attreq on (what you want),

But attdia on, what you don't want.

 

Note: Filedia is useless, Lisp will start the commandline dialog for file selection,

independed of your filedia setting.

Also Macro, Script, (send)command - all automation inside autocad.
