layer dia box 'gone awol'
« on: November 25, 2005, 10:15:08 AM »
After a power cut last night the layer properties dia box has disappeared. I CTRL-ALT-DEL my machine weeknights and this was the case last nite.

All the other dia boxes are working fine just the layer one is AWOL.

Anyone experienced this before?? Or anyone know of a rememdy?

Ive tried changing the desktop size to see if its moved out of the screen area, but the res is set to 1280 x 1024 (max)
Short of a reinstall im stumped?

TaVM guys and gals

thats missing too.....
the acad bar lightens up (as if to switch to the new window) which doesnt appear.

The command starts, but no dcl...hitting esc still does stop the command and return to the main drg window.

You still get options if you type in -LA on the command line?

yeah m-dub...everthing as normal.
-layer still pops up all the usual. just no dia box.

*EDIT*
Is there a cmd to reset the position of ALL the dia boxes?

Before a full reinstall, you should consider a repair install.  These seem to be more successful than with previous releases and thankfully so.  With Civil 3D 2006 a repair install is a bi-weekly affair when commands go missing.
