Save as DWG/DWT problem.

    Immediately after I have had a Drawing Template File open the Open Dialog will default to files of type Drawing Template. If I proceed to open a Drawing File when I do a QSAVE, SAVEAS or Answer Yes to Save Changes the Save As Dialog opens defaulted to files of type Drawing Template. I want the open and save dialogs to always default to drawing files.

    The open situation can be handled by changing the following registry setting HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Autodesk\AutoCAD\R16.0\ACAD-202:409\Profiles\<<Unnamed Profile>>\Dialogs\Select File\InitialFilterIndex. Unfortunately changing the following registry setting HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Autodesk\AutoCAD\R16.0\ACAD-202:409\Profiles\<<Unnamed Profile>>\Dialogs\Save Drawing As\InitialFilterIndex does not handle the save situation.

    I can not simply undefine the QSAVE and SAVEAS commands and replace with my own as it doesn't handle the situation when asked to save changes.

    I would like to be able to get hold of the dialog in the same fashion as Push The Freakin Button (http://www.tlhouse.co.uk/PTFB.shtml) and change the save location and save type. I hope someone may be able to help me do this or provide another solution.

    Regards - Nathan
