Custom drawing properties

[Anonymous]

I have used custom drawing properties for years as part of my title block because it is invaluable for looking up job details outside of Autocad.

In the last few days, drawing properties has not been able to be opened inside ACA2015 - running windows 8.

It locks up the drawing until ^c gets out of command.

If I copy the drawing file to another computer, I can still see the custom properties.

Tried propulate but doesn't change things.

Is this an ACA or Windows 8 update ?

I think it is the latter.

Unfortunately I can't restore because I reinstalled windows 8 from scratch when confronted with problem,

Solved, Duh!!!!

I inadvertantly autoloaded a lisp routine that had a command like dwgprops.

At least I know a lot more about custom properties.

I got it from someone years ago, and never understood how it worked.

It just did.
