Question
WHENEVER I WOULD USE THE SAVEAS OR IMAGE INSERT COMMAND A PULLDOWN WOULD APPEAR TO PATH ME TO THE IMAGE OR THE SAVEAS DESTINATION. ALL OF A SUDDEN I GET A TEXT PROMPT AND HAVE TO TYPE IN THE PATH.
ANY HELP WOULD BE GREAT
THANKS, JOHN

Answer
John:
If all your other dialog boxes are working in other commands, then setting the FILEDIA system variable to 1 should take care of it.  Otherwise the CMDDIA system variable should also be checked and set to 1 as well.

Expertise

I can address all 2-D questions and some 3-D questions. I do programming in AutoLISP if it doesn`t involve solid modeling. I can also address menu customization issues and can help you find answers to questions I can`t answer by taking your question directly to Autodesk via their newsgroups.

Experience

I used to do electronic and mechanical design for a flat panel monitor manufacturer, and now I do architectural drafting for an architect. I did and do AutoLISP and menu customization and take pride in making my lisp routines to do the work exactly the way the client likes them done.

Publications
I had a routine published in CADENCE magazine (no longer in publication and taken over by CADALYST). Some of my routines are published on my website at http://my.sterling.net/~bdeshawn
