    It may or may not be obvious but do you have the express tools loaded?

    Hello,

     

    This is a known issue for ACE2013, we are working on the fix for it now.

     

    Please refer to the workaround in the following link for now:

    I am having the same problem of some express tools not working in Structural Detailing, 2013. Your tip of manually loading LEADEREX.ARX also works for Autocad Structural, 2013.  Great tip, thank you.  I hope Autodesk fixes this problem.

    Hi pseguy2007,

     

    I am working in AutoCAD MEP 2013 and the command didn't work in there but it worked in regular AutoCAD 2013. After more research I found that the command is in leaderex.arx and is not a Lisp Routine. Load it (leaderex.arx) into your AutoCAD Electrical 2013 using the appload command while you are in a drawing. Make sure you add it to your History folder and add it to the contents of your Startup Suite as well. Save and close the drawing and AutoCAD. Now it should be working when you reopen AutoCAD.

     

    The Express folder should be located here: C:\program files\autodesk\autocad 2013\express

     

    Let me know if that helps.

    Is the fix in Service Pack 1?
