Help! "save as" only gives me a command line.

Help! "save as" only gives me a command line.

Help! "save as" only gives me a command line.

(OP)
I have noticed that when I use "save as" as well as other commands that I am only getting to use the command line now. I dont have the option to use a "Windows" drop down box. This is very annoying.

Anyone know the toggle to change this?

Thanks in advance

RE: Help! "save as" only gives me a command line.

i believe this is what you are looking for.

"FILEDIA" @ command prompt.

Initial value: 1
Suppresses display of the file dialog boxes.

0  Does not display dialog boxes. You can still request a file dialog box to appear by entering a tilde (~) in response to the command's prompt. The same is true for AutoLISP and ADS functions.

1  Displays file dialog boxes. However, if a script or AutoLISP/ObjectARX™ program is active, AutoCAD displays an ordinary prompt.

hope this helps
