HELP WITH THE "look-up" ACTION

[JBACHMAN]

I HAVE ADDED MY LOOK-UP PARAMETER IN THE BLOCK EDITOR, AND HAVE ALSO ADDED THE LOOK-UP ACTION. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT ONCE THE ACTION HAS BEEN ADDED A LOOK-UP TABLE WOULD POP UP FOR ME TO POPULATE. SO THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN, AND I THEN TRY TO OPEN THE Table FROM THE PROPERTY DIALOG BOX. THE COMMAND LINE THEN TELLS ME TO SELECT THE ACTION, SO THERE I AM CLICKING ON THE LIGHTNING BOLT, THE PARAMETER GRIP, AND THE ACTION LABEL LIKE A MAD MAN, BUT THE COMMAND LINE KEEPS SAYING “...NOT AN ACTION, SELECT ACTION...”. ANY INSIGHT? THANKS IN ADVANCE

JUST A FOLLOW-UP, WHICH I CUT AND PASTED OUT OF ANOTHER THRREAD. "If I use my ADT as ADT as AutoCAD 2006 it works fine. I can not get my lookup table to open in ADT no matter what I do." SINCE I AM USING ADT AS Autocad IT DOES NOT SOUND LIKE THE LOOK-UP WILL FUNCTION WORK. WILL IT ONLY WORK IN VANILLA CAD?

Yes this is exactly what I was going to say. If you simply edit your lookup tables in ADT as AutoCAD. You will still be able to work with the blocks in ADT. But not modify the tables from ADT. Hopefully a service pack will take care of this.

Hopefully a service pack will take care of this.
