willwould Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 I am using AutoCAD 2005 and Layout templates provided by my employer. There is an ACAD_PROXY_ENTITY in Layout which should print as the file location of the drawing and it does so on other computers but not the one I am using. On my computer it prints as "R Text (R Text)" inside a rectangle. Can anyone suggest how to tackle this problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlB Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 Install "Express Tools" on your computer, which is needed to create and view "rtext" (remote text) which is used for the datestamp/file location. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willwould Posted June 16, 2006 Author Share Posted June 16, 2006 Thanks. I passed the above posts on and then there was a change made to the server, I think. In any case yesterday I got an AutoCAD message making some suggestions with regard to the object enabler assistant. In OPTIONS/SYSTEM I enabled "check web for live enablers" but this did not seem to do anything. I tried following some links but still have not found the object enabler assistant.

Cad64 Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 What is your PROXYSHOW variable set to? 0 = Proxy objects are not displayed 1 = Graphic images are displayed for all proxy objects 2 = Only the bounding box is displayed for all proxy objects Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willwould Posted June 16, 2006 Author Share Posted June 16, 2006 PROXYSHOW is set to 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willwould Posted June 19, 2006 Author Share Posted June 19, 2006 I have found the AutoCAD Object Enabler Assistant web page and am given two main choices. 1. If I don't know the enabler I require I need to choose the program that created the object and the program that I wish to use to open it. I know the later (CAD 2005) but I don't know the former. The choices given are almost all AutoCAD products and when I have chosen what I think might be likely candidates (like an earlier version of AutoCAD) I am told that I don't need an enabler. 2. The second choice is to select the enabler I need by name and I cannot find a suitable choice in the selection offered. Also, I have OPTION/SYSTEM/Check web for live enablers checked and seem to have PROXYSHOW set correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
