View Full Version : 2010 DRAPE (AECDRAPE) command missing when using ACA "as AutoCAD""

Hello,

I'm using AutoCAD Architecture 2010. I have a custom profile based on the "AutoCAD Architecture as AutoCAD" profile.

I have a user who needs to use the DRAPE command but (as you's expect) its not loaded in this profile.

Does anyone know where that command is located? I have tried loading ACA.cuix which loads the toolbars and palettes that show DRAPE but I get the "Unknown command" error when trying to use them.

There must be an ARX or DBX or MN* somewhere no?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

JP

Yes, the command is loaded from the arx's that get loaded when you run ACA proper. The cuix just gives you toolbars/palettes, etc. If you add back what is missing, then you have the standard ACA profiles. If you don't want to mess with modifying your derived profile, just load the dwg in ACA, run the drape command, save and close the dwg and then go back to using plain acad.

BTW, if a command is prefaced with "AEC", then it will require the aec arx's.
