Trouble shooting
Problem: Error: misplaced dot on input [0] or Error: bad argument type:
Solution: If you get this error after picking an AutoSD command that uses a dialog box for input, the error is in the DATLIST.CFG file. You will need to delete this file. It is located in your C:\autosd folder. Do NOT delete the datlist.lsp file.
Problem: File 'Asd_cfg.lsp' not found!
Solution: This file is created by the setup program and is installed in your C:\autosd\support folder. If you get this error, enter CONFIG at the command line. Pick the 'Files' tab and expand 'Support file search path '. You should have a path for C:\autosd\support, assuming you installed on drive C: in a folder called autosd. If you do pick it. If you don't pick Add. Pick the Browse button and open your C:\autosd\support folder. Pick 'Apply' and OK or Close.
Problem: None of the AutoSD commands are showing.
Solution: You don't have the menu loaded. Enter MENULOAD or CUILOAD at the command line.
Pick Browse. (BricsCAD: Pick button with three dots …)
In the dialog box pick the arrow at the right end of the “Look in” box and select the drive where AutoSD is installed. In the large box below that box, double click on AUTOSD, double click on MENUS.
For AutoCAD 2000 – 2002: select autosd02.mnu
For AutoCAD 2004 – 2009: select autosd.mnu (see Note below).
For AutoCAD 2010 – 2014: select autosd.cuix
For AutoCAD 2015 and later: select autosd15.cuix
For BricsCAD 11 - 19: select autosd.cuix
For BricsCAD 20 and later: select autosd.cuix if you are using the light theme and select autosd15.cuix if you are using the dark theme.
An *.CUI file will be created from the *.CUIX file for Bricscad. Pick the *.CUI file if you already have one unless you need to overwrite the CUI file with an update to AutoSD.
Select Open.
Pick Load.
If a message box appears when loading autosd.mnu warning that loading of a template file overwrites the menu source file. Pick YES to continue loading the
For AutoCAD 2000 - 2005:
Select AUTOSD from “Menu Groups” and pick the Menu Bar tab.
Select where you want to place the AutoSD menu group in the Menu Bar list and pick Insert.
Select Close
Note.
All versions of AutoCAD and BricsCAD can load the *.mnu file. You may need to change “Files of type” to “Legacy menu files (*.mnu)” at the bottom of the “Select Customization File” dialog box to be able to select the AUTOSD.MNU file. The MNU file does not have the ribbon menu in it.
If you get “smiley faces” in your toolbars and have an older version of AutoCAD, 2000 – 2005, you need to do the following:
1. Add C:\autosd\icons to the “Support file search path”
2. Unload the autosd menu
3. Load autosd02.mnu from c:\autosd\menus
If you have BricsCAD 15 or AutoCAD 2010 or later and load the *.CUIX menu file you can use the ribbon menu in AutoSD.
The RIBBON command turns the ribbon menu on.
The RIBBONCLOSE command turns the ribbon menu off.
The ribbon menu can be used with or without the pulldown and toolbar menus.
Pulldown menus can be turned on and off with the command MENUBAR. Set the value to 1 to turn it on and to 0 to turn it off.
Problem: Error: bad argument type: listp
Solution: If you get this error after picking an AutoSD command, try editing your customer configuration Detail Variables. If you can, the problem may be in your DATLIST.CFG file. See solution above. If you cannot, the problem may be in your CUSTVAR.CFG file. Try setting another configuration current. If you can, the problem is with the previous configuration and you need to delete it. If the Customer Configuration dialog box will not open, you need to delete the CUSTVAR.CFG file. It is in your C:\autosd folder. Copy the one from your latest backup to C:\autosd.
Problem: Missing icons in your menu. AutoCAD 2015 and later, light theme only.
Solution: You can only do this for one theme.
1) Open a drawing in AutoCAD
2) Add a path to the "Support File Search Path" for C:\autosd\icons. Pick Apply and Close.
3) Pick Tools > Customize > Interface
4) Pick the Customize tab
5) Pick the drop down list for "All Customization Files"
6) Pick autosd15.cuix
7) Pick the plus sign next to Toolbars
8) Pick a toolbar name under Toolbars.
9) Look to the right in the "Toolbar Preview" window.
10) If you have a question mark inside a cloud for an icon pick it. The properties for that command will be shown underneath the row of icons.
11) Look at the last two items under properties for "Images" you will see a name for Small image and for Large image.
12) Pick on the line for Small image. Most users will not be using the large image icons so you do not need to replace those but you can.
13) Add .bmp to the end of the name. This replaces the name with a bmp file of the same name.
14) Repeat steps 8 - 13 until you have replaced all question marks in all toolbars.
15) Pick Apply and OK when finished.
