In our work space we have AutoCad Map 3d 2009 and 2008 versions and on all computers a list of commands doesn't work:

 

table

donut

appload

ellipse

xl

ray

 

Doesn't matter if I enter one of these commands or select them in the menu. When I press F2, this is what I get:

--------------

Command:

Command: appload

 

Command: table

 

Command: ellipse

--------------

 

as you see, no response from autocad. Any ideas why is this happening?

has this always been the case or is it a new occurance?

It's the case since out administrator installed these new AutoCad versions. I think everything worked when we had old autocad-2000

hmm.... if I may muse a bit about what it isn't - these are not Express Tools that I know of so its not that Express Tools is not loaded.

 

You're using the whole command so its not a Alias-Edit-thing...

 

And as far as I know (only googled one of the commands) these commands are valid commands in ACAD 2008....

 

perhaps get your Admin to preform a Repair on your installation (an option from the Installation-CD) ? Sorry I can't be of more help :(

definitely all valid commands with 2008.

 

are these the only commands that don't work or are they just the first few you have found?

 

have you tried prefixing with a dot underscore?

Ensure your DemandLoad system variable is set to 2 or 3(default). Or change this through Options --> Open and Save tab --> Demand load ObjectARX apps (bottom-right). Otherwise ARX's won't get loaded when you issue the command.

These commands are just first few I have found (some more of not working: mapconfigdb, adeattachdata). Characters ._ didn't help

Demandload is already set to 3. Coworker told me that after installation acad works on clean computer, but doesn't work then all other programs, including ArcGis are installed. Even full reinstall doesn't help. We found one PC with working AutoCad Architectural Desktop 2007 which is working, we'll try to find out how that one is different from other workplaces, where acad fails.

There was an issue with Map3D and E$RI ArcGIS on the same workstation back in 2008/2009, check for a Service Pack or Hotfix. (for both)
