Command Prompt Only?!

[Anonymous]

Here is some Friday morning fun....

I have opened AutoCAD Civil 3D 2015 this morning (including opening Civil 3D as AutoCAD 2015) and the dialogue boxes have stopped working for opening, new drawing and saving. I have command prompts only.

Other dialogue boxes are working fine such as insert, plot etc....

I have swapped ATTDIA from 1 to 0 and 0 to 1, restarted and rebooted and nothing is making a difference!!!

My experience of 2015 generally is that it is a tad unstable and this is just another nail in the coffin.

Any thoughts?

Set System Variable FILEDIA = 1.

Thanks Jay, its too early here to remember all the variables. I kicked myself when you posted this! Cheers

This variable typically gets reset to 0 after a crash so set it in your acaddoc.lsp file and when the inevitable crash happens again there will be no issues.
