AutoCAD, how the FILEDIA variable works

Sometimes it can happen, that when opening a file, it seems that AutoCAD has gone crazy and the command bar says:

Enter name of drawing to open

Autocad variable filedia fidelia

The problem: it does not display the explorer dialog when using the command to open or save files. This is because the dialog variable is disabled.

Autocad variable filedia fidelia

It is solved with the command FILEDIA.

Eye!, It's not FIDELIA, like the name of the grandmother of Gijón, but FILEDIA from File Dialog.

We write FILEDIA, then Enter, we write the variable 1. And that's it.

Something similar can happen with the commands, and is solved in the same way with the variable CMDDIA.

  1. Thank you very much, I had gone crazy with that fidelia that I almost already knew it.
    Thank you

  2. Okay, that's another way to solve it.
    Unfortunately, you may lose data or settings in other installed programs, depending on when you last saved the system state.

  3. Very good contribution to solve this problem. Another way to correct this problem is to reboot the PC to an earlier point in the system where you did not have this problem and you're done.

  4. speaking of variables, do not manipulate the "pickfirst" and it is the one that does the most excesses in the space model

  5. THANK YOU FOR THE HELP, YOU CAN ALREADY RESOLVE IT
