Cable Insert Error

Hi all,
I have a problem when trying to insert a cable marker.
I get a message box saying "Cannot find definition for dialog XD7W" but I don't think that this is the whole message. This is only what can fit in the AutoCad Message box. If I press "OK" opens the cable marker selection box. This happens every time I want to insert a cable marker. Can anybody help with this please?

Regards,
SteveNic

This dialog definition should be in your wdmenu.dcl file. Has your
wdmenu.dcl file been modified or moved? The file should in the Program
files\autodesk\acade 200#\support folder. Does AcadE then bring up some menu
dialog with the cable marker choices or does it just quit? If it just quits
is is likely that more menu definitons are missing than just the one. What
version of AcadE are you using?

I think this was an ACE2007 problem? As a work-around, you can try the
following:
1. Make backup copy of c:\program files\autodesk\acade
2007\support\wdmenu.dcl
2. Open c:\program files\autodesk\acade 2007\support\wdmenu.dcl with an
ASCII text editor (like Wordpad or Notepad)
3. Cut and paste attached file to the end of the wdmenu.dcl file. Save. Test

Thanks Nate!

Problem solved. It is a new installation (ACADE 2007) on a new Acad Workstation. Something must have gone wrong with all the customizations....
