[QUOTE=trautman]... (autodesk autocad 2000)No i have not tried (repair), How does that work...[/QUOTE]Been a while since I've used v2000, but assuming little has changed: Reinstall or Repair AutoCAD: http://docs.autodesk.com/ACD/2011/ENU/filesInstall/WS1a9193826455f5ff3d6161141208a8044f3-79e5.htm

The REPAIR option will require that you have the original installation media.  Do you still have the CD?

John, Yes i have everything, CD, Paperwork and all.Ill see what i can do.Ill let all know what happens.mik

Well that didn't work.Thanks for the help.'When you can't beat um, shoot first, (I was in fear for my life officer, nine times)9999

Ok I just found my copy of 2000i. if you will put up a small drawing that is doing what you described I will install autocad 2000i on an older computer and see if I recreate the effect.

You wouldn't be using any custom lisp routines would you?  Some poorly written routines will reset variables to run then forget to put them back to their original settings afterwards.
