Strange error message
Brad B:
I've been working on R2004 for several months now, but just this week I've been getting a strange error message when I try to use certain commands. (REDRAW and MASSPROP so far seem to be affected.)
The message goes something like this:
Command: redraw
Document "F:\your_drawing_name_here.dwg" has a command in progress.
Hit enter to cancel or [Retry]:
And it refuses to execute the command, even though no other command is running that I know of. It will work again however if I close and then re-open the drawing.
Does anyone know if this is a bug or else what process might concievably be running?
Thanks,
Brad

This can happen if you have more than one dwg open. i.e. If you start a command in one dwg then switch to another without finishing the command you will get that type of error.
Brad B:
Thanks for the reply, but that doesn't seem to be the case in my instance. I closed all other drawings that were open, and the problem persisted. The curious thing is that a REGEN will work, but a REDRAW will not. There seems to be no logic behind which commands are "offensive" that I can sae.

Mark:
That is weird. Wish I had the answer but, I don't have a clue on this one.

Does it have to do with some other invisable command? I have seen similar after running orbit. Even though I exited from orbit - something was retained. I noticed it when I would press the save button on the toolbor. Kinda unnerving that it comes up and you can't save!! But I discoverd I could clear it by running the saveas command from the pull down menu. after doing a saveas - even when writing over the same file name - it seemed to clear the issue and then the regular save and other functions worked again.
