I have an employee in our office with Autocad LT 2012, none of our dynamic blocks work on his machine? We have another machine with Autocad LT 2009 and the blocks work just fine? I can create dynamic blocks on the the machine, but when I close out of the block editor, none of the dynamic block grab-point show up. Is there a setting or somthing that needs to be turned on? Any advice or help would be greatly appriciated.
You didn't state, but have you actually gone to this person's machine and confirmed for yourself that the blocks don't work? If you have, what "doesn't work" about them? There's no reason they shouldn't if the version of AutoCAD on that machine is similar to others in your office.

When one of these Blocks that has the Grip points that do not show up, scroll out and then click on the Block again.
Do you see these points off in space somewhere else?

SWAG Show grips in blocks checked
That box (Options - Selection tab - Grips) - should probably *not* be checked. But it doesn't seem to matter... at least not on my system where things work normally.
I keep thinking that if it isn't a system variable involved here it might be a broken system. Has a program Repair been done on this machine yet? Is the installation current thru SP2?
Dave.
Here's one other thing to check on the machine where things don't work: Open the block (or blocks) in the Block Editor that don't work. Select the parameter that isn't showing a grip (ex. Rotation) and check it's properties. In the Misc section is the number of grips = 0 by any chance? This could have been changed somehow on that machine.

Stupid Wild Arse Guess
Should have been a ? at the end of that statement. Like Heinsite I did not think that would make a difference since Grip for Dyn Blocks are not the same as Grips for the end of entities but I was no where where I could test this.

The show grips check box was the problem. OPTIONS/SELECTION/SHOW GRIPS was not checked. I assumed it was a simple check box problem, I just could not find it.
Thanks to all that responded.
So not Stupid or Silly.
A Good guess it was.
