Issue


On the File menu, you click Open. In the Select File dialog box in the Views drop-down list, the view type always reverts to List in a new session of AutoCAD, even after you changed the view type to Details

Solution


This is as designed; there is no way to retain the setting.

I believe the "LIST" option is THE OPPOSITE toggle for "DETAILS".

Preview will always occur whether it's set to LIST or DETAILS.

ALSO ,,,,
By default, AutoCAD is to LIST/ PREVIEW.

BUT WHY?
Would you want the preview window off?
