Where is the file?

[Mickey]

I asked awhile ago and never got an answer so I'll ask again.

Is there a way to locate where the active drawing is stored?

Why? At our company we save our files on a network drive not our local computers and that drive has a lengthy folder tree. From time to time a file gets saved in the wrong folder, and I'll have it in my recent File/Open Recent menu, but can't find it on the network drive.

So in VW is there a file path tool somewhere?

I'm using VW2008.

Thanks

You could try this at Vector Depot.

Scroll down to File Path Tools.

If you're just trying to find the path and not stamp it on the drawing...

On a mac right click the file name on the window header. There must be an equivalent for windows.

Thanks guys,

How sad is it that I have to download a plug in to find the file path

"File Path Tools

Two tools to work with the file path of the current drawing. One will display the path in a dialog the other will add the file path to the drawing as text and is updatable

That Mac trick sure would be nice, maybe in Windows 7.

Having the file path in the Help drop down would be nice too.

Maybe it's a new feature waiting to be implemented in VW2011

I just installed that file path tool, and it works perfect.

Thanks so much for that link!
