DANIEL Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 I have a friend experiencing an issue with certian drawings only, where he can not select an OLE he is running AutoCAD 2004 on windows 7. Anyone know how to get it selectable again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DANIEL Posted December 6, 2011 Author Share Posted December 6, 2011 doesnt appear to be a command in 04, I don't think its the frame anyway but if theres a similar command in 04 let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 You have 2012 and your friend has 2004. Open the file in 2012 and try resetting OLEFRAME to 0. Then save it back to 2004 file format and see if your friend can do anything with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLW210 Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Make sure the OLE is not on Defpoints layer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLW210 Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Right-Click and choose selectable. Save down to R14 and reopen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DANIEL Posted December 6, 2011 Author Share Posted December 6, 2011 is there a way to set it so that ole's created in newer versions default to an oleframe setting of 0 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLW210 Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 You could set it in your ACADDOC.lsp I think your friend should be able to use DWG TrueView 2012 and reset it himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
