Properties dialogue box not displaying completely.

[vipsphinx]

I have a question on the properties feature. I used to be able to use

properties to change the accuracy (number of decimal points), and text on dimension features. However, for some reason, the properties box doesn't offer these any longer. I was wondering if I inadvertently

changed a parameter to prevent this from occurring. I tried this from a new drawing, but the same properties information is displayed.

 

However, the Primary units tab is no longer displayed. It only began

operating like this several days ago. I have a dimension highlighted,

yet the properties box indicates "No Selection" and the Primary

units tab, text tab (and others) are not visible.

 

I'm trying to figure what might have changed to make AutoCAD operate in this manner.

 

Thanks in advance.

Set PICKFIRST to 1, so the properties command recognizes something is selected. Note that it says "no selection" . You could also now click on the top right select icon then select something.

I try PICKFIRST. set it to 1, but still having the same problem.

Still no answer? anyone?

PICKFIRST doesn't affect the properties dialog.

 

Are you using tools to 'clean' the registry?
