R-MEP 2010 install broke ABS07

[RobertB]

No kidding?

DWG TrueView 2010, Design Review 2010 ruins this key as well as R-MEP 2010?

Does Autodesk know about this?

Yes, I'm the one that exposed the issue to them.

I think that R-Arch 2010 is doing the same thing to ADT07.

Yes, I mentioned earlier in this thread that Revit 2010 will affect AutoCAD 2007-2009.

That's just some crazy stuff.

I really appreciate the help Robert!

You made my day

I'd rather post q's than bang my head against a wall and look stupid.

I spoke with my reseller and they had not heard of this issue.
They know now!

Thanks Robert, but...

I made the change in the registry, rebooted, opened ACA 2009 and tried to drop something onto a palette. No dice, still acting the same as it was. Any other ideas?

BTW, should I return to the registry and change back?

Thanks, Tom

Sorry for the delay in getting back to this; I was speaking at a 2-day indistry event.

There was no need to reboot. Just merge the REG file before running AutoCAD.

Try merging and immediately running AutoCAD. If that still does not work, please export that CLSID and post the resulting file as a TXT. Unhappily for you I skipped the 2009 release but I don't believe the DLL filename changed between 2008 and 2009. You could browse to the specified folder and look at what DLLs are located there.

I have not tried the registry trick, but going into add/remove programs and running a repair install will also fix this issue, it may take longer though. Give that a try

Repair does not correct the issue.

Shortly after my last post I lost all the panels and tabs for my Ribbon. Start-up just gave me a blank ribbon with a message about no panels or tabs available. Nothing I did would bring them back so I reloaded ACA 2009 from the control panel. I still had a blank ribbon but at least when I went to "customize" I had content in the "Panel" and "Tabs" sections so I could rebuild the Ribbon.

Still can't use I-drop though so it must be something in the registry. Unfortunately I didn't do an uninstall before I did the reload so I never cleared the registry. At this point I'm going to have to wait until we get less busy before I can play with it again.

Thanks for all your help.

That is a separate issue. I have found that if you open the CUI editor and set the workspace as current within the editor the Ribbon comes back. (As long as the workspace still has Ribbon elements assigned to it.)

That's what we had been doing on a couple other installations but mine lost everything. ACA seems to be getting quirkier every new iversion.

Thanks for all you tips, Tom

I can fix it for you.

You need to use RegEdit, locate:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{34d71ea5-7e74-4bb5-84da-fd59b4f63c52}\InProcServer32

Edit the Default key to be:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Autodesk Shared\AcInetEngineps16.dll

Unhappily, I think you will find that when you run Revit, that key value may switch back to AcInetEngineps18.dll rather than stay at 16. So you may need to keep a registry file handy to quickly merge the fix.

Robert,

I have this problem too in AutoCAD Architecture 2008 after architect installed DWG TrueVIew2010 on my machine.
Would your fix work for me?

I do not have HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{34d71ea5-7e74-4bb5-84da-fd59b4f63c52}\InProcServer32 in my registry editor.

Should I look for different key?

I would appreciate help very much, since dragging objects through tool palletes is not an option for us.
