civil3d 2012 locks on mapiinsert

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I am trying to attach a tif image using the "mapiinsert" command. I can launch the command fine but when I try to browse for a file, autoCAD becomes non-responsive.  I'm getting used to it telling me it's "not responding" when all I really need to do is wait a few minutes, but I waited 20 at one point.

I have been using this command for a while now so I'm not sure what the heck happened (it just started last night).

Any feeedback would be appreciated.

Is the browse window looking for a network location? How about if you let it take its 20 minutes, then browse and find a file on the local machine, insert it.

Use Mapiinsert again, should default to the local machine. Does this take a long time, too? If not, check Network Discovery setting in Windows 7.

Do you have Firewall and Virus Detection turned on? If you disable those, does this speed up your browsing?

Thanks for the response Tim. 

I am trying to browse for a network file and it will indeed work locally.  Figures.  This machine is so locked-down all I can do is forward the info to IT.

We're running on a Novell network, btw.

Cheers!
