just had 2012 lt loaded on my computer and my pgp file straightened out but now when I do an insert command I am asked to enter the file path vs getting a dialouge box......I really need the dialouge box
FILEDIA=1?
How do you start the INSERT command?
If you type INSERT on the command line do you get the dialog box?
If you type -INSERT (note the dash) on the command line do you get command line prompts?
My guess is you are typing " I " and your PGP file has that as the -INSERT command which suppress the dialog box and gives you command line prompts.
I have my pgp file set for I for the insert command and yes I unsually type just the I for insert
and yes there is a -I for insert also
do I just delete the -I from the pgp file?
let me provide more
I have typed insert - same result
i typed -insert - same result
I typed I - smae result
no dialogue box
the dash supresses the dialog box. In your PGP file modify it look like this.
-I, *-INSERT
I, *INSERT
now when you type " I " you will get the insert dialog box. When you type " -I " you will get command line prompts for the insert command.
Be sure to run the REINIT command after saving the changes.
Back to basics then.... Test this for me:
at the command line type -INSERT (with the preceding dash) ... should not be a dialog box
at the command prompt type INSERT (without the preceding dash) ... should be a dialog box.

started by restarting cad
typed in reinit and selected the pgp file
typed -insert - no dialogue box
typed insert - no dialogue box
ya'll have been great but I am not sure whats going on........I am to the point of throwing things
I may beed to get our "cad guru" involved and let him sort out his mess
I searched the forums and google and could not find any other ideas to try. Maybe Dean or Charles will chime in with a solution. In the mean time you might try a repair install and see it that cures your missing dialog box problem.
At the command line, type .INSERT (note the period as part of the name): if you have no dialog, do you get a commandline function instead? If did you recently switch from dual screen and your pop-up is "off screen" now?
Changing the screen resolution can also show if something is near to the edge of the screen.
Sometimes this will show up as a dark line on the edge of the Desktop.
Type INSERT then Alt+Space (this will open the Alt menu for the dialog box)
Type M (Move)
Now press and hold an arrow key, or two, or three to see if the dialog will come on screen.
Not sure if it will be left, right, up, or down.
