Lost my overwrite question

[cborn]

When you plot something and the dialog box opens asking you if you want to overwrite the existing file i accidentally checked the box saying not to ask me anymore. How do i get that back does anyone know?

It may be set in your Windows Registry.
LT stores dialog box settings here:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Autodesk\AutoCAD LT\R13\ACADLT-6001:409\Profiles\<>\Dialogs

This is the key for the dialog box before your overwrite dialog:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Autodesk\AutoCAD LT\R13\ACADLT-6001:409\Profiles\<>\Dialogs\BrowseforPlotFilePlotDlg

I didn't see any entry for the "Plot file exists" dialog, but I didn't feel adventurous, so I didn't check the "Don't show me".

Perhaps a new "Plot file exists" key is created under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Autodesk\AutoCAD LT\R13\ACADLT-6001:409\Profiles\<>\Dialogs

OR maybe a new "Plot file exists" entry is created under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Autodesk\AutoCAD LT\R13\ACADLT-6001:409\Profiles\<>\Dialogs\BrowseforPlotFilePlotDlg

Use REGEDIT to look around, but becareful!
All changes are immediate, good or bad and there is no undo.

Just be careful in Regedit!

I need to know if this was the fix.

I accidentally turned mine off, as well, and want it back on.

Thanks...

Current LT Version?

[pcushion141]

So sorry... I am using is AutoCAD-LT version 2012....

As was said earlier in this thread each of those Keys exists in the Registry but I do not see one that obviously will reset that check box in the dialog.

Hopefully someone else will come along with more information.
