Lost Wipeouts - Proxy Objects error

[RockyBrown4134]

I have a drawing that I have spent the last four days working on. Started the drawing from scratch in AutoCAD 2015. Today, I get the Proxy Graphics Warning and all of my wipeouts are gone. It says I am now missing the "Object Enabler for wipeouts" and "WipeOut DBX Application".

Any suggestions?

FYI.... I have Service Pack SP2 installed and Sketchbook Designer For AutoCAD is not installed on the machine.

Can you share the DWG file?

[RockyBrown4134]

Here is the drawing. Now, the Dynamics do not want to funtion. Is that part of the Proxy Graphics issue?

[RockyBrown4134]

Just thinking, are ther any other add-ins or programs, that interfere with AutoCAD, similar with the interference with Sketchbook Designer For AutoCAD?

Has anybody seen this issue happen lately? Anybody had any success resolving the issue?

Thanks

I haven't noticed the proxy error, but-

I have two drawings that had polyline wipeouts in them yesterday, but now when I open them they are big rectangles and list as ACAD_PROXY_ENTITY.

I changed some network pathing on my computer today, so I'm wondering if something might have accidently reset. I haven't figured out what's going on yet.

I found this thread from 2002 that may be related, on express tools not loading:

One quick but temporary solution mentioned in the first post that worked for me is to just create a new wipeout during the current session of autocad, and then my wipeouts come back.

According to Dean (pendean) in the post, it could have something to do with Express tools not loading.

Dean, correct me if I am wrong.

With that said, could a list routine be placed in either the startup suit or acaddoc.lisp file to ensure that the Express Tools are loaded? Just thinking.

???? I made no comment in this thread other than asking for a DWG file. here it is, your dynblocks work fine. I don't think having express tools loaded has anything to do with the topic at hand.

Pendean, Please accept my appology. I was refering to the thread mcubed had refered to in post number 8, dated 2002.

Thanks for your help.

Update on the issue:

I had read that this issue may have something to do with the wipeout command. I found that the following "Band Aide" works when the issue occurs in a drawing:

1) When the issue occurs, I save the drawing. (Just so that I don't lose any geometry by mistake).

2) Switch to model space.

3) I create a simple, three side wipeout in a blank area of the drawings.

4) I then erase the wipeout. then run the "regen" command. All of the existing wipeouts are corrected.

5) I then save the drawing again.

This may not be the correct solution, but it works for the time being. I have even considered writing a macro in the CUI to do the task, but I haven't gotten around to that yet. This is based on using AutoCAD 2015.

If anyone is still having trouble, this little lisp will solve the problem for you.
PS: You might have to "regen" your drawing if it's still not show correctly

Wow, 10yrs later and this is still happening.!!
