Opening drawing in Mechanical Desktop

Opening drawing in Mechanical Desktop

Opening drawing in Mechanical Desktop

(OP)
I was working in Mechanical Desktop 2008 this morning and must have done something without knowing.
Now when I go to open a drawing it does not show me directories, instead, in the command line it is asking me to enter a file name.
Somehow I lost where it shows a drop down menu of directories and drawings.
Thanks for any help.

RE: Opening drawing in Mechanical Desktop

Hi skimmerman,
Type FILEDIA on command line, change variable from 0 to 1 and hit enter. That should bring back your directory window again.
