smackie Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 hi, My insert block dialog box has vanished, although it seems to be in focus wherever it is as mouse clicks produce a beep until I press Esc. i am using autocad 2006, any help very much appreciated. Quote
Tiger Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 I have moved this post to it's own thread, in the future please start a new thread for new questions. and to attempt to answer your question - is FILEDIA set to 1? Try that first. The dialogue box could also be opening off-screen - in that case, when the box is suppose to be there, hit Alt+Spacebar+M and then use the arrow keys to move the box. Quote
Hedgehog Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 Ooooh... Alt+Spacebar+M... cool... shame that doesn't work for toolbars. Quote
Attila The Gel Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 If it is outside of you screen, you shuold try other screenresolutions in your windows screen properties. maybe this will help to rescue the lost window Quote
dbroada Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 it could also be ATTREQ has been set to 0 (my prefered way). Set it to 1. Quote

lpseifert Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 Tiger nailed it... Alt+Spacebar, then M (or S), then arrow keys Quote
Strix Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 ~Ooops - I should read posts more thoroughly! Quote
MaxwellEdison Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 Bah, we can't expect Moderators to start reading posts now can we? Quote
Strix Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 especially if they're posted by other mods? Quote
