AutoCAD LT 2023. When I go to Blocks Palette Libraries Tab to build library i get the error message "File not found", and fortunately I am able to click on out of the error.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Thank you for responding. I am not sure how to get you the example that you need. I am sending the .dwt file, as when I load it the problem pops up as having been saved when I saved the drawing for you but don't know if it will appear when you load the file into autoCADLT. I also took a screen shot of the problem displaying.
Thank you,
This you have sleectd is pointing to an external folder
And the explanation is quite specific on why
So what moved? Or did you just forget to add your folder here perhaps?
If you are trying to access the content in your file, you need to be in this tab first
Let us know more details about your intent please.
I have this same issue. While the error does tell us why its wrong, "The file has been moved, edited, or deleted" I dont know how to fix that issue. The library tab should be a dialoge box that lets me install and edit library locations. It would appear that part of the installation is broken, but I havent had a change to reinstall since we have an FX/CAD version and that requires a few more hoops to jump through.
I'm having this same issue. I *just* installed AutoCAD onto a brand new laptop. I haven't customized file paths in any way and I can't access the sample block library.
Is there a solution for this topic? In previous versions it's easy to get to my block library from the dialog box at the top of the block palette but I get the error message above when I click on the new "libraries" tab.
@mikmaines Not having any issues here in AutoCAD/LT2024 or AutoCAD/LTLT2023 with our company files and libraries on our servers. Which previous versions worked fine for you? And what version are you using now? You may need to fix the error that prevents you from accessing your block library: a program resent or reinstall (assuming you have all the updates for AutoCAD/LT2023 and older installed too).
You can also access your library from ADCENTER command to ensure all is working just fine there too.

I have the same issue with 2023 LT and as well, this was a fresh install from my IT team. Software that doesn't work out of the box.
To set up libraries:
It's rather difficult to specify a path when there is not option to do so.

I've still got this issue, but I've also run into a new issue, which I think escalates this to a bug?
If I click on the options icon, I get a pop up that shows the same "File not Found" screen. The bad part is that this leads to a soft-lock, since there is no way to close the pop up and I cant move it on the screen. Its just stuck there in the middle of the screen until I restart.
Pretty frustrating that there doesnt seem to be any way to reset the toolbar or fix this broken link.
Have you checked that any of the ringed blocks are in the drawing and haven't accidently been purged? The names of those blocks suggest that somebody just copied items from another drawing and used the "Paste as block" command.

Thats very possible, this file has come from another source. Would that cause this issue though?
I feel like this thread keeps getting into the weeds. I cannot choose a block library, I can only look at blocks in the current file. I need to be able to browse to a block library, so that I can distribute an updating block library to my entire team across 10 machines. The block library panel is, to the best of my knowledge, broken. I do not know how else I would link to a common file that contains the blocks I need. When I click the gear icon, the broken link pops up, and there is no way to close it. The blocks library tab is also the broken link.
Am I missing something very obvious about setting up a blocks library?
Having the same issue and the "Go to Solution" doesn't seem like it will fix the Libraries tab is not functioning?
I don't think it just a matter of picking the other tab. The error says that the file has been moved, or deleted. I think it is not pathing correctly.
I appreciate you sticking around on this subject, but that is just objectively not a solution. Nothing here has solved the issue of the blocks library being completely inaccessible. I dont know how this was marked as solved, but it is not solved.
