DANIEL Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 I have a co-working using AutoCAD 2004 who is unable to select certain OLE's that have been inserted from word. If I open them up in 2007 they function fine. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReMark Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 You say he is unable to select certain OLEs so one must determine what is the difference between those he can and cannot select. Could they be on the Defpoints layer or a layer that is locked? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANIEL Posted August 1, 2011 Author Share Posted August 1, 2011 I already checked to make sure layering wasnt the issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 And all OLE objects have their respective frames displayed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANIEL Posted August 1, 2011 Author Share Posted August 1, 2011 And all OLE objects have their respective frames displayed? The frames display but you can't select them, not even the grips or even through the OLE menu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Did you test one of these malfunctioning OLE objects from Word in a NEW drawing by any chance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANIEL Posted August 1, 2011 Author Share Posted August 1, 2011 Did you test one of these malfunctioning OLE objects from Word in a NEW drawing by any chance? There's no way to get access to the OLE to get it into a new drawing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 You do have a copy of the Word document on your computer right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANIEL Posted August 1, 2011 Author Share Posted August 1, 2011 You do have a copy of the Word document on your computer right? no, we've been copying and pasting notes from previous drawings for years now, right now i'm just looking to prevent someone from having to retype everything and reinsert it, which works and allows us to edit the OLE as one would normally be able to do. But, I also would like to know what caused this to begin with so that it can be prevented in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
