I can not explode any object

Hello my good friend l m using AutoCAD Arhitecture 2008 and l can not explode any object eg rectange, Block Definition etc please help

Do you get an error message?

What happens when you click on the explode button?

Have you tried typing explode at the command line?

Have you tried opening AutoCAD and in the default drawing1 drawn a rectangle and then tried exploding it?

Has explode worked in the past?

When did it stop working?

When will the recession end?

Answering these questions will help answer your question.

It may be that the drawing was created as a 'block' and an option in there is to make the block 'unexplodable'...... might be the issue. Try the 'BURST' command also, although if explode doesn't work, that probably won't work also.

Run an 'AUDIT' and 'PURGE' on the drawing prior to attempting to explode it, might be an error within the drawing, worth a shot.

Do you get an error message? ANS no

What happens when you click on the explode button? ANS select object

Have you tried typing explode at the command line? ANS yes l have

Have you tried opening AutoCAD and in the default drawing1 drawn a rectangle and then tried exploding it? ANS yes l have

Has explode worked in the past? ANS yes

When did it stop working? ANS four months now

When will the recession end? ANS l don't know

So is it just that drawing? Like when you click on a rectangle, it's 'JUST' the rectangle your selecting right? It's 'NOT' a block right? So when you run the explode command, and click the rectangle, then proceed through the command, like nothing at all happens, as in no error message, no nothing?

Can you draw a rectangle in that drawing, and explode that? If so, it must be something to do with the existing entities in the drawing and not the drawing itself.

So after you select the object and hit enter what heppens?

EXPLODE stopped working 4 months ago:o

Sounds like something has done this on purpose; are you using lisps or vba routines that could redefine your commands?

There is always the option to reinstall Acad.
