hey guys, i need some help. i was using mscad 2005 sp1.3 on my laptop all day today without any problems. just to let you know, i have not yet encountered any crashes using this on my laptop since i started using it in full about 5 months ago.
the only things that i can remember doing for the first time today are:
i ran the "psltscale" command and set it to "off".
i renamed the keyboard command "ctrl+P" to "multi_perpendicular_ties" using the customize command in the cad tool menu.
the new command works fine.
i created a data collector file, saved the file & exited the program. as usual, i saved the filed to the server.
i then had to use the program again about 5 minutes later, and now it will not run.
it starts: it shows the flash screen with the surveyor at the instrument, the first two bars accross the top of the screen are displayed and then it stops. the top bar says "microsurvey cad 2005 sp1.3 [drawing1]. (i have not seen the wording [drawing1] before}
when i click the "x" to close, the error message says the program is not responding.
i can run the program and open the file on the my desktop computer. it seems that something has happened to my copy of the program on my laptop.
any ideas? is there a way to go back to prior settings, if that is indeed the problem? any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks
