Problem with Lineweight and linetype tools

Lineweight and linetype can't be used they both have yellow warning symbol with exclamation mark in them - can anyone help me solve this please. I've done the latest updates to the software and re-booted that hasn't helped.

@jessicatorode88 - is that the tool palette?

When you click on it, what happens at the command line?

Does it say something like this?

 

Command: sdefgsdfgsdgf
Unknown command "SDEFGSDFGSDGF". Press F1 for help.

Hi @jessicatorode88 ,

 

Just because a button doesn't have an icon doesn't mean you can't use it.

When you customized Tool Sets palette, you used standard AutoCAD command macro, defined in CUI file, but both Lineweight and Linetype command macros in AutoCAD standard CUI file don't have icons assigned.

You can verify this in CUI editor:

 If you want to have icons for these commands, you need to create custom command macros and add icons to them in CUI editor. Then you can add these custom commands to the ToolSets palette.

@jessicatorode88 

What AutoCAD version do you have and what macOS installed on your Mac.

Do you use additional display?

I'm asking about additional display, because when you use Linetype.. or Lineweight.. command macros, AutoCAD should open dialog windows for these commands, but you cannot see them for some reason....

Do you see these dialogs if you use menu Format -> Linetype or Format ->Lineweight ?
