Insert Block Dialog Box display whenever inserting Source/Destination Arrows, retag/update, edit wire number etc

Any idea why the insert block dialog box displays whenever trying to insert the source/destination arrows, use the retag/update or edit wire number command? It seems like the command doesn't know what default block to use in the background so it displays the dialog box for user to pick the correct block. The support paths are correct and the project settings are also pointing to the correct symbol library paths. Using AutoCAD Electrical 2019.

 

Thanks!

Does this on both source and destination arrows? 

Try few options:

option 1: try on one of the iecdemo or wddemo project drawings.

option 2: purge all blocks and try it

Option 3: check symbols HA1Sx and HA1Dx or VA1Sx and VA1Dx where  x is number 1, 2, 3 ...... in the library. Probably they are overwritten recently. 

option 4: reset acade to default settings
