    properties and quick select stop recognizing dwg entities

    What would cause the Properties command and the Quick Select command to stop recognizing drawing entities?

    If I select some objects and hit properties it tells me no selection. Same in Qselect.

    Ther is a variable that will shut off dialog boxes but I don't remembeer it.

    Please use plain text.

    "FILEDIA" should be set to 1 for dialogs, hope that helps

    FILEDIA only controls the dialog box for finding & opening files.

    There is another variable that turns off dialog boxes for other commands, INSERT for example.

    I had exactly the same problem.

    Go to Control Panel

    Select Uninstall a Program

    Select AutoCad 2008

    It will offer a button to Uninstall/Change.  Click it.

    Select Repair or Reinstall

    Select Repair my AutoCad 2008 installation and click next.

     

    That's it.  You don't even need the install disk.

     

    Brilliant
