ddinsert

[gstruthers]

when I type in ddinsert (autocad 2014) the dialog box appears as normal, however when I click on browse to select a block or file there is a "ding" noise and the dialog box does nothing further. if I try to insert from the pull down menu, I get the same result. any ideas?

FYI, the command name is INSERT: there is no "ddinsert", that's just a leftover shortcut defined in your PGP file.

The 'ding' is an alert that means you have something else running or going on in AutoCAD: what is your commandline reporting, if anything? How is the AutoCAd program window behaving? does it look like another program is active?
Windows OS?

[gstruthers]

the command line is blank, the autocad program window is normal, the OS is Windows 7 Professional.

Thanks

I can't replicate it here: does this happen in ALL files or just the one you are in now? Does it happen in a new file?

[gstruthers]

All files.

Which library of blocks are you tapping in the popup? Can you insert those same blocks using ADCENTER command?

[gstruthers]

The standard library that comes with autocad, and yes it appears that adcenter does indeed work, which gives me a workaround. Thanks!
