Mpolygons

[mstacey82]

My AutoCAD (MAP 3D 2009) has somehow lost the ability to recognize the properties of mpolygons. Before, I could change the outline color and the fill color from the properties window, but now, when I select an mpolygon that I created, its as if I clicked on nothing, as nothing appears in the properties window. I did install AutoCAD Map 3D 2010 and Raster Design 2010 recently, and noticed the problem soon after, but I have since uninstalled them both, and did a new re-install of Map 3D 2009, but the problem with the mpolygons continues. I have looked for existing answers on the internet but have come up empty. Does anyone out there have any suggestions for me? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Type PICKFIRST at the command line and set it to 1.

Hey Murph,
just tried that, and it was already set to 1. Tried 0 as well, no results. Thanks though.

If you select any other object does the property palette work OK?

Yes. I made polylines, rectangles, circles, hatches and they all show up normally in the properties window. To my knowledge, mpolygons are the only object type that won't show up.

It's not on a locked layer is it?

Nope. I started a fresh drawing, with only layer "0". I drew a polygon and converted it to an mpolygon. I also drew a polyline and a circle, all on layer 0, and when I select all of them, it does show that 3 objects are selected, but from the pull down in the properties window, only the polylines and circle are visible. I also tried creating these objects on a new layer, but get the same results. I've attached a jpeg to show what you see when you select the mpolygon, polyline and circle all at once.

Here it is. If you autocad works properly, you shouldn't have any issues.

Works OK in 2009 with RD and in 2010 for me.
Might want to try a clean uninstall and reinstall.

Yeah, I might just have to do that I guess. Thanks for you help. Much appreciated.
