Why do the prompts appear on the command line instead of the Open or Export dialog boxes?
The AutoCAD system variable FILEDIA controls the display of file listing dialog boxes. Set FILEDIA to 1 to enable these dialog boxes. If FILEDIA is set to 0, you can still request a file dialog box to appear by entering a tilde ~ in response to the first prompt of the command you selected. Also be aware that if a file command is called from a script or AutoLISP/ADSRX/ObjectARX program, a command prompt appears instead of a dialog box.
