setting new tab name (eg DWGNAME and DWGPREFIX)

Is it possible to change new tab name without saving a file, or to set it before new tab opens?

 

eg. when I say NEW and open new tab it opens with a default name "Drawing<<counter>>" (Drawing1, Drawing2, ...).

These values are read-only, but being able to set them on fly would be of great time saving. We sometimes open dwgs by using script files where we just DXFIN files, and not save them, leaving up to user to save them or not.

 

If they already had names and paths, for each tab set correctly, it would be a great time saving.

Hi,

 

a. You could write dwgprefix + dwgname (or any string data) to USERS1-USERS5 system variables

b. Undefine SAVE command

c. Define a replaceable SAVE command that offers as default what is saved in USERS1-USERS5

 

Does this help?

In absence of being able to set dwgname and dwgprefix solution of using USERS... is I guess the best option.
