    Default MVSETUP returns Unknown command

    I have a user who, when she types in "MVSETUP" at the command line gets an "Unknown command" error. This is a basic AutoCAD command. What can I do to get this command back? Will re-installing AutoCAD be the only solution?
    Thanks

    You may be missing the MVSETUP.LSP file. You should be able to find it in your Support directory found in the directory where your AutoCAD is installed.
    If you have a technical question, please find the appropriate forum and ask it there.
    You will get a quicker response from your fellow AUGI members than if you sent it to me via a PM or email.

    Just-in-case;-
    Mvsetup is not available in LT.

    I can not find a MVSETUP.LSP in the Support directory, but I did find a MVSETUP.DFS. (?)

    You SHOULD have an mvsetup.lsp in you AutoCAD\support folder.
    I have one for every version of AutoCAD I have loaded.

    I don't know what a mvsetup.dfs is, I don't have one anywhere on my machine(?).


    What version of AutoCAD?

    PS, to re-quote "Jaberwok", it won't be in AutoCAD LT.

    I was having an issue with trying to run mvsetup within a lisp. I type (command "mvsetup") but nothing happens. i can type mvsetp on the command line and it runs just fine. Is there something I am missing within my lisp to call up this other lisp?
