"I
loaded my symbols library and tried to use it. I'm getting this error...
"Dialogs
are not available because DCL Files are not loaded".
Is
there a fix?
This
fix applies for the full version of AutoCAD:
(For
AutoCAD LT, see below)
The
"base.dcl" file is probably not loaded in AutoCAD, or AutoCAD does not
know where to find it, or there is a problem with it.
First,
try loading the BASE.DCL file. Copy and paste this line of text into AutoCAD's
command line and press Enter: (load_dialog "base.dcl")
Restart
AutoCAD.
If
that didn't work, then AutoCAD does not know where to find the file BASE.DCL.
In
Windows, click on the "Start" button, then click on "Search", then "For
Files or Folders...". Search your hard drive for the file BASE.DCL. Take
note of the exact path where BASE.DCL is located.
In
AutoCAD, click on "Tools", then "Options" and go to the "Files" tab. Click
on the plus symbol next to "Support File Search Path". Make sure your Autocad's
"Support" folder is listed there and the path agrees with the path you
found after searching for BASE.DCL. If they don't match, modify the path
under "Support File Search Path". Restart AutoCAD.
If
neither of these work, then the problem is with your "base.dcl" file. You'll
need to reinstall AutoCAD.
