AutoCAD 2008: View Opened Drawing in Windows Explorer

Did it happen to you, that when you open some job drawing in your office network,
you wanted to see that file in the windows explorer by clicking a toolbar on your AutoCAD menu?

Well, here it is.

Create a new toolbar on your custom menu,
In my case I named it “View Opened Job in Explorer” with an icon showing a folder with a curved arrow.

Create your new toolbar on the CUI interface on your office/personal toolbar group.

On Properties, type in Command Macro:

^C^C(STARTAPP (strcat "EXPLORER /select, " (getvar "dwgprefix") (getvar "dwgname")", /e"))

Click Apply and OK, and that’s it.
