    A co-worker stated that he had a routine at one time that would pull the
    file name along with all path info while in the dtext command. Anyone
    heard/have something like this?

    Thanks - Jeff

    One way, at the command line....
    Command: texteval
    Enter new value for TEXTEVAL <0>: 1
    Command: -text
    Current text style: "L80" Text height: 3.20
    Specify start point of text or [Justify/Style]:
    Enter text: (strcat (getvar "dwgprefix")(getvar "dwgname"))
    "C:\\Projects\\2003\\23107\\dwg\\base.dwg"
    Command: texteval
    Enter new value for TEXTEVAL <1>: 0

    Have a look at RText (Express Tools). It's not actually dtext but it looks
    the same and is SOOOO helpful. No need for a lisp routine.

    It changed over time... (blame that fickle gorilla in Redmond!)
    Now you need DWGPrefix + DWGName

    See what the result of your old code is... you may need to do a (Strcat
    .... ) of the above to get your desired result.
