I'm using the "getfiled" to select a xref dwg file to xref in my routine (so I can control insert layer and scale factor with visual lisp) . I notice that the "getfiled" bring up a different dialog box than the one you get when you type in "-xref" at the command line. I wanted to be able to select my xref file using the view "subject" & category" option turned on. I'am able to set this as the default if I type "-Xref" at the command line. However, thru "getfiled", I have to set this manually each time the dialog box is open. Is there a way to set this view as a default so that I do not have to manually do this each time ? Tom
