AutoCAD Electrical menu utilities ; error: misplaced dot on input

[tpardys]

When I boot up AutoCAD electrical, I get the error - AutoCAD Electrical menu utilities ; error: misplaced dot on input

I've read through some of the forums and they mostly talk about Autolisp programs but this happened first thing this morning after booting up my computer.

Would something have got corrupted with the electrical menu utilities startup routine.

Where do I start to try and solve this problem?

Thanks,

FYI

I managed to fix it by deleting the LASTPROJ.FIL file...

After a Windows Update I got also this error (error: misplaced dot on input) in Autocad Electrical when using an electrical menu command. The project manager list was empty.

After deleting the "LASTPROJ.FIL" in the "......\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\AutoCAD Electrical 2013\R19.0\enu\Support\User" map the problem was solved.

Thanks for the tip.

In AutoCAD Electrical, make sure that DIMZIN system variable is NOT set to a value of 4. This suppresses leading zero in the return of the (rtos ... ) function and can later trigger the "misplaced dot on input" failure.
