AutoCad Electrical Right Click Menu not working

[Anonymous]

This problem started a few days ago for no apparent reason. I right click over an electrical component and nothing happens just the standard acad menu. after some research I found online where somebody recommended doing a defaults reset on autocad electrical, I did that and nothing changed. I also found where it by typing (vlr-mouse-reactor nil '((:vlr-beginRightClick . wd_checkRClick))) you could make the menus to come up and after typing that line of text the menus come up but do nothing. I have checked and made sure that I was on ACADE workspace, I have also checked parameter pickfirst which is "1", also checked pickadd which is "2" and I have even deleted a file called lastproj and now I can get one drawing to show the electrical menus and get them to work but 2 other drawings out of the same project dont work. I also noticed that when the menus dont work I can zoom in and out of a drawing and I will not be asked to save the drawing and it will close the drawing without saving it. 

I have done a complete re-install of autocad 2017 and the problem still exists, running out of options and time on this project that is near completion. I have opened other projects and I have the same issue. 

Any help will be appreciated, I am not an expert autocad electrical user but never had a problem like this.

Thank you very much

Here is what I have done to prevent the Right-Click issue from reappearing. It turns out that this issue was created by the fact that I have symbol ( " ) on my descriptions under project. I use that symbol to indicate inches. I have removed that symbol from the descriptions and closed AutoCAD Electrical. Then I proceed to delete the lastproj.fil from C:\Users\Your User Name\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\AutoCAD Electrical 2015\R20.0\enu\Support\User and launch ACE again and add the project back to the project list and open it. Everything works as expected.

I also realized that once my right-click would stop working, it would not work until after I delete the lastproj.fil file.

I hope this helps I am trouble-free for now. Got in the habit of spelling inches instead of using ( " ).

Please let me know if this helps, I am curious to know if there is one more reasons that cause that issue.

Thanks

Thanks for the info, jpereira !

I may write myself a batch script that looks for & deletes this file before running AcadE. I'll be sure to come back & share this if it keeps the problem away.

Also, discussion in this other thread suggests Vault config could be at fault (but this local file seems more likely to me):

Be aware that lastproj.fil is used to populate your Project list when you restart ACADE.

If it's missing, ACADE will automatically recreate the file but leave it empty until you open projects.

mhd720 be aware that deleting the lastproj file will allow the right command to work only until you start the trouble project again. As I mentioned I run into this problem with one particular project, every time I opened It stopped my right click menu operation. I had to fix the " symbol " on my description on that project then delete the lastproj file and then it all continued to work just fine. I believe is what icemanau is trying to tell us on his response below.

Thanks

Actually, I was advising MHD720 on the function of the lastproj.fil, so that he is aware that when he starts ACADE after deleting the file, he won't have any projects in his project list.

This was in an effort to prevent another post asking why the project list is empty on every start IF he does go ahead with the lisp file that was mentioned.

Hi all, problem has resurfaced (now in ACADE 2018 instead of 2016), and I did not edit any project names or descriptions to kick it off. I have deleted the LastProj file, but no luck this time. Trond asked me to run some commands, here's the console:

Command: *Cancel*
Command: (VL-MOUSE-REACTOR)
; error: no function definition: VL-MOUSE-REACTOR
Command: (VLR-MOUSE-REACTOR)
; error: no function definition: VLR-MOUSE-REACTOR
Command: (VL-LOAD-COM)
Command: (VL-LOAD-COM)
Command: (VL_REACTORS)
; error: no function definition: VL_REACTORS

I will try to clear my LastProj now again & see what happens. In the meantime, does anyone know where VLR-MOUSE-REACTOR is meant to be defined? perhaps someone with a healthy install of ACADE2018 could search the LSP files?

My LASTPROJ file has only this one line since I deleted it, then added one project back to attempt to open a drawing (see below). Does anyone know the format that ACADE expects from this file? Looks like I have a few empty fields:

("C:/$WorkingFolder/TNA_AUS/TNA-0802000 - 802999/TNA-0802038/TNA-0802038.wdp" "" "" "" "" "2")

These "no function" errors are AutoCAD errors, and not AcadE errors. So I would try

A reset to default
An un-/re-install

In that order.
