Dear readers,
The save window we are accustomed to from Windows, doesn’t appear sometimes. This is controlled by FILEDIA system variable. When the window doesn’t appear, this has somehow been turned off.
Command: FILEDIA
Enter new value for FILEDIA <0>: 1
Enter FILEDIA in the commands and change the value as 1. This should solve the problem.

Autocad occasionally crashes and leaves the user without dialogue boxes. Filedia is the answer. What I’d like to know is why Autodesk hasn’t fixed this long standing problem.

We have this command written down on a sticky note and posted on a wall. For whatever reason, the save/open window disappears infrequently and longer than you can remember the FILEDIA command (or at least longer than we can remember).
I had a client who was pulling his hair out all day trying to figure out what was going on -then he called me. When I told him I had to walk into the other room to look at the sticky note, it gave him a laugh

@Eric,
Probably your customer is using an autolisp program which closes FILEDIA at the start of code. Please ask him, if yes recheck code and place (setvar “FILEDIA” 1) in error_exit function.
