resullins Posted February 18, 2014 Author Share Posted February 18, 2014 Thanks! Got that working again anyway! Now if only my toolpalettes and macros would behave! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
resullins Posted February 19, 2014 Author Share Posted February 19, 2014 Ok... got my tool palettes back. Somehow my Z:/ location had gotten its Read Only button checked. This is a mystery to me... Now... if only my Macros would work... that would just make my day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuns Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Is the CUIx in the wrong place or is the macro written wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
resullins Posted February 19, 2014 Author Share Posted February 19, 2014 They're action macros... so I didn't write them. And they worked like, last week. So I don't think they're written wrong. And they're definitely in the folder that's being pointed to in the options dialogue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuns Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 What happens when you do try to use them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
resullins Posted February 19, 2014 Author Share Posted February 19, 2014 It takes a minute, but I get "Unknown Command." For example, one of my macros is PCRESTRON. It brings up the Crestron Manufacturer-Specific TP (or at least it's supposed to). When I enter the command now, it locks up for ten seconds, then gives me the "unknown command" crap. If I enter something that I KNOW doesn't have a macro attached, the same error pops up (obviously) but it does it much quicker. So I feel like CAD knows it's looking for something that exists, but it just doesn't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuns Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Sounds like there is some sort of support path missing or something along those lines. Maybe in deleting all those paths you accidentally deleted another important path like you did earlier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
resullins Posted February 19, 2014 Author Share Posted February 19, 2014 Well crap. Can anyone tell me the default path for action macros? Perhaps I'll try to add it back and see if it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

resullins Posted April 1, 2014 Author Share Posted April 1, 2014 Ok guys... I'm bumping this thread to say that I've figured out why this keeps happening. It's because the drive-based folders where I keep my macros and tool palettes keep spontaneously becoming read only! If I go back to the two folders and uncheck read-only in properties, everything works just fine. So now... what in the hell is causing that problem? I'm on Windows 7, and this is a local drive, not a network drive, so I don't feel like the IT guy is doing it. Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
