Do you really want to do this?

Upon opening certain drawings, the program keeps asking me the same question over and over again.
I can't figure out why it is even doing so? I've attached the sequence of commands it runs through when
opening one of the drawings that do this. The only thing I tried to do after opening is doing a zoom
extents. If anyone has run into this problem please let me know.
Thanks!

I'd take a look at your acaddoc.lsp, you appload
startup suite and any mnl files that go with any loaded cui's.

It looks like a poorly written routine is
autoloading somewhere.

I'll say up-front, I got an error when I tried to view your text; we experienced what I believe you're describing, but I could be pulling this out of thin air.

Ok, disclaimer aside: check if the dwg has any associative hatches that reference an external reference. Better yet, take a copy of the file, Qselect all associative hatches, and flip the property to non-associative. Then let me know if that solves it or if I'm thinking of one of the countless other problems we've had with '09.

Hope that helps.

That worked! Thanks so much! I guess hatching is always going to be a problem in one way or another.

The other thing that I've noticed with 2009 is the following: I'll be working right along and all of the sudden the program
will start acting funny. Things will disappear, commands will not work or prompt other commands that I did not type.
Has anyone else experienced this?

Thanks again for the replies.

If you use associative hatches and hatch to xrefs
you will get the "Do you really want to do this".  Either use
non-associative hatching or don't hatch to xrefs.  I have not had any
issues with things disappearing, commands not working...

This thread was very helpful, thanks.  I was having this same issue and couldn't resolve it until I moved the reference file away so my file could not find it.  Then I moved it back and I was able to work again.

Civil 3D 2009.

 

I also ended up having to detach the reference file to remove the associated hatch (or else it disappears and I didn't know how to find it to delete it).
