AutoCAD problems at launch

[jonathann3891]

Hi everbody! I've visted this forum many times, but this is my first post.

 

I recently starting having some real issues with autocad, whether it be basic CAD or LDD. I get the same errors on startup. I hope you guys can help!

 

Here is my log

I'm when I open a drawing, it ask me to select an object when I have not entered a command. Here is the log for that

 

AutoCAD menu utilities loaded.Unknown command "DEFINE".  Press F1 for help.

Welcome to the forum,

 

I dont work with Civil 3D but to start...

 

Checked if the files that can't be found are in the windows folder mentioned?

 

Check if these files

 

AcMapWorkspace.arx

AcMapDwfApi.arx

AcMapDwfUI.arx

*AeccUiModel.arx

 

are in this folder?

 

C:\Program Files\AutoCAD Civil 3D 2008\(*Civil)

[jonathann3891]

Yes they are all located in that folder.

If you right click on the AutoCad icon and select properties, in the box labeled target does it show the correct profile?

 

For example, mine shows

"C:\Program Files\AutoCAD Civil 3D 2008\acad.exe" /p ">"

to load my standard profile.

 

I had a similar thing happen while back, and correcting this fixed my problem.

Without doing any research (i.e. just a guess), I would say that your support file search paths are hosed... Have you checked this?

Have you run a repair on your install?
