Text box crushes/can't create or change text style

[eglupe]

I am having problem with opening the Text STyle box.  It shows for a second on my screen and then dissappears and my computer freezes after that.  I need to create new Text Style , how can I open the Text style box?

Try:

1. to "Reset Application Options" from Application tab of AutoCAD Preferences

or

2. Just exit AutoCAD and try to delete AutoCAD preferences file from ~/Library/Application Support/Preferences folder, it's should look like "com.autodesk.AutoCAD.R18....plist" (the remaining ... depends on AutoCAD version)

And one more question: do you use (from time to time) external monitor, or dual monitor configuration on your Mac with AutoCAD?

Thank you! I was having the same problem, with a few other windows as well, page setup for example. I run am running on an iMac no external monitor. I thought it may have something to do with limited processing power (2.8GHz when ACAD wants minimum of 3).

Hi

Sorry, I did not understand. Have you managed to solve the problem with "disappearing" dialog boxes?

If you have, that's OK.

And about processor speed - it doesn't affect dialog box behavior at all, it seems that you confused processor speed and amount of RAM (in Gb).

Yes it did solve my problem with the dialog boxes disappearing. Thank you.
