Insert not working

sbarron — Thu, 20 Apr 2023 22:05:46 GMT

Whenever I try to insert a file into a drawing my blocks tab just hangs there and nothing happens. Any thought as to why this is happening and what can I do about it?

FYI it used to work, and this has started happening recently.

Is this a particular file into a particular or any file into any file?

does it work when you use the CLASSICINSERT command on accessing that drawing?

But AutoCAD seems to think so, and why you see the lag / pause / hanging / what you are describing exactly.

Why does AutoCAD think your folder location is offline is something you need to engage an IT person to help you resolve it, that will fix your issue. It's apparently a recent change/problem.
