smackie Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 hi, My insert block dialog box has vanished, although it seems to be in focus wherever it is as mouse clicks produce a beep until I press Esc. i am using autocad 2006, any help very much appreciated.

Tiger Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 I have moved this post to it's own thread, in the future please start a new thread for new questions. and to attempt to answer your question - is FILEDIA set to 1? Try that first. The dialogue box could also be opening off-screen - in that case, when the box is suppose to be there, hit Alt+Spacebar+M and then use the arrow keys to move the box.
