getfiled

AutoCAD "getfiled" function cannot set default file name to be created;
means cannot put the default file name on "File Name" text box.

I remember, sometime last year someone had started a discussion about
"getfiled" function, I cannot remember if the issue was the one I'm
experiencing now?

Can someone help me here?

Thanks

 

Do you mean you cannot do this?

(setq dwgnm (getfiled (strcat "SAVEAS" " C:/temp/") "C:/temp/newdrawing" "dwg" 11))

(setq dwgname (getfiled "PATH" "DRAWING NAME" "dwg" 1))

 

The correct way would be:

(setq dwgname (getfiled "TITLE" "PATH/DRAWING NAME" "dwg" 1))

That way getfiled opens to that directory.

as pointed out by billZ

Try
(setq dwgname (getfiled "SAVE AS" "c:\\temp\\brand_new_drawing.dwg" "dwg"
1))

Make sure that c:\temp exists...

I'm just curious, does the file name, "brand_new_drawing.dwg", show up in
file name box in your computer?

It doesn't on mine with any of spellings suggested.

Thanks anyway
