I just tried to place symbols on a job we did using Cad 2004. When I tried
to view the symbols in my automap metric library, the symbols that were created in Express 2002 don't show up in the picture window. All of the scale, block and symbol insertion layer info is there but it won't insert the symbols on the drawing.?? Please help.

Hello,
In your AutoMap library, the path where the symbol were originally located is always stored.
C:\MSX2002\MSCAD\BLOCKS\ICI_PSCP.FLX
The path is very important, because if the path no longer exists then AutoMap can not find the symbols. I suspect that you will find the path is the problem, which means you need to update the paths to find the necessary symbols. In most cases it is a quick fix, simply open your AutoMap library in Excel and do a find and replace. In the example above, you would look for "MSX2002" and replace it with "MSCAD2004".
