Have you ever had the situation where you are flipping between drawings (in SDI 0) and find that when you go to "Open" another drawing the file selector is displaying the wrong directory?

Here is a neet little macro/script to put in a toolbar button to open Windows Explorer into the currently displayed drawings directory.

^C^C(startapp "explorer" (strcat "/e, "(chr 34)(getvar "dwgprefix")(chr 34)))


Regards,
BK

Hehe... now we can go full circle...

Double-click files in Hurricane to open them in AutoCAD, then edit those files, and navigate to other AutoCAD files using the AutoCAD file selector, then press the AutoCAD toolbar button to open the Directory in Explorer, then drag and drop the directory back into Hurricane... heheh... Just like the "Explore" button in Hurricane, except in AutoCAD!
