AutoCAD 2013 Some dialog boxes not displaying

[rick]

Just installed 2013. I find that some dialogs do not display. This is not a FILEDIA or CMDDIA problem. I know for sure that GROUP and ARRAY will not throw up a dialog. Only get command line options. Doesn't matter if command is via toolbar or typed at the command line. I don't use the ribbon but there's no way the typed command shouldn't give the same dialog as a ribbon button would. A coworker has similar, though a more serious case. For him the HATCH dialog doesn't appear. A typed or toolbar call to HATCH or BHATCH just returns a command line with "Select object [Pick point/seTtings]:" or something close, i.e., very short prompt. He can type "T" and get the dialog. But, if the toobar button macro is revised to: ^C^C_bhatch;T; no dialog and the "T" invokes transparency option, which isn't even available in the expected prompt. To recap, on both of our workstations only some dialogs fail to display, most behave as expected. I've checked the menu macros for toolbars to be sure no command-lines are being called.

The GROUP, ARRAY and HATCH commands do not display a dialog OOTB (IOW, this is as designed)

* You can force HATCH to revert to "classic" mode by setting HPDLGMODE to 1
* You can get the old ARRAY dialog by using the command ARRAYCLASSIC
* You can get the old GROUP dialog by using the command CLASSICGROUP.

Perfect. It's good to know someone pays attention. Best regards, Rick

Thanks for the update, Rick. I've just gone and checked a new thread and I see the full list of prefixes in this forum, as attached.

I'm quite baffled, but, I'll chat with one of the forum admins and see if there's any possible reason for that, differences in profiles or something.

I don't see 2013 in my list either... although I don't have 2013 installed. Just figured I'd give you another user's input

interesting -- I don't have 2013 installed at work either, but the 2013 choice _does_ show up in the prefix drop down. Perhaps clearing the browser cache to force a reload?

No dice... cleaned everything out, and still no 2013 in the list for me

The prefix lists are attached to each forum that needs one. It doesn't know what you have installed. If you don't see the updated list, the problem is on your end. As a test, make sure you have the tab with augi closed before you clear the cache. You might try a different browser, they each store their cache in a different location.

We apologize. This was a back-end issue and should now be cleared up.

If you continue to have this problem, please let us know in the Forum Feedback forum.

Working fine now

Ed,
I wasn't intending to imply that the forum knew what I had installed... just that it not showing up wasn't important to me.
