    Default Alias within Acad.pgp file not working

    a coworker of mine can't get his aliases to work. Replacing his pgp file and running the REINIT command does not fix it. Aliasedit command brings up an empty window (no aliases available).
    The REINIT command brings up an error message that says "dialogs are not available because DCL files are not loaded".

    The install is a new install and the aliases have never worked. I'm thinking that autocad needs to be reloaded, perhaps something happened during the install process.

    wondering if anyone else has had a similar problem.

    thanks

    I think you're right.
    Do you see a message about "cannot find "BASE.dcl""?

    I second the notion of a reinstall.
    A reinstall should not be my IT department's answer to every problem, but
    when you are missing files it is easier to do the reinstall.

    There is no telling how many files are missing.

    Just a thought: Did anyone change the support files search paths?
    (I am brainstorming, ouch that hurt!)

    is installed express tools?
    or dcl files are there in the directory of "support file search path"?
