toolbar symbols

Anonymous — Mon, 24 Jul 2017 23:57:56 GMT

has anyone had the odd behavior of bringing in a customized electrical symbol only to have it replaced with a grey circle?.

the other toolbars seem fine and that particular symbol works on other autocad 2016 machines... its a setting, but stuffed if I can find it.

any help?

cheers

if you click the gray circle does it perform the command it supposed to?

It may be as simple as the icon sharing the same name with another icon.

.... or the same named block already exists in your file but it's a grey circle.

no, certainly doesn't share any names.. all have a nicely unique name.. the good news was I was able to replicate the issue on my own machine... bad news is I'm unclear how I did it and turn it back! 🙂

also doesn't contain any annotation... so that hasn't migrated across

Post DWG files with the problems, let's all have a look.

Cannot invoke (command) from *error* without prior call to (*push-error-using-command*).

the above is shown for the toolbar elect. symbols that refuse to come in.

for the rest that work, no such command line text.

I have seen plenty of others on similar forums with this error message coming up for countless similar issues...
