Hello all-
So there was a cad person that came in long before my time and set up a lot of what we use on a daily basis (slides, script files, and on and on). It was originally set up for much earlier versions of cad (i'm guessing R14 or 2000). I'm currently running Arch. Desktop 2006- and I've come across some things that drive me crazy- and I'm hoping there is an easy answer to what i'm experiencing. I'm hoping there's someone out there that can help- wihtout having to go line by line to find the issues.
I open AutoCad, and get going- it comes up with his trademark mumbo jumbo and then fires up the program. I can typically work for about an hour or so before i start to get the following issues
1. Hatchedit will not run- and won't let the window open up. I can run it as -hatchedit but just not with the dialog box. I either double click or type in hatchedit and i get nothing.
2. Fillet stops working. I have quazi fixed this by making my own lisp to pretty much reinstate the command. .
3. Spell Check will not run. I type in Spell Check- and nothing comes up.
4. Xref command will not execute. Again- same issue as i have with hatchedit- i type it in and i get nothing. I can do the -xref and get it to come up on the command line as well.
It's almost as if there's something that is preventing the dialog boxes from being able to execute- and i'm not sure if it's because the programming was designed for older progamming- and it kicks out those commands or what. There is a ton of script- too much for me to even begin to ask for help trying to decipher. I"m hoping it's some type of setting that is making all of these commands stop working.
if anyone has any ideas, please let me know. I'm trying to use process of elimination to see what commands are the culprits- but there's just SO much.
Thanks in advance.
