I'm posting this question on bahalf of my father who is using this version of ACAD on a WIndpws XP PC OFF the grid.
He has suddenly begun to experience adverse behaviour with attempting to perform even the most basic of tasks such as drawing lines, creating angles, etc.. Cannot even connect a horizontal line now between two vertical lines. Seems to have taken on a mind of it's own.
Seems that the program install is possibly corrupt. When I look at attempting a "repair" of the app in "Add/Remove" programs, and select ACAD, it presents the Change/Remove option. However, the next steps does NOT provide an option to "repair" explicitly. Rather, it asks if I am sure that I want to completely uninstall the app. In researching rapairing the app in FAQ's in the Autodesk support area, I found this article: http://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/autocad/troubleshooting/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/Recommended-uninstall-and-reinstall-procedures.html The repair process implies that this can be done, but I'm NOT wanting to uninstall the app if at all possible. Need some clarification on this.
Does anyone know if one can in fact "repair" the installation in XP throuth add/remove programs? If not, can an "in place" repair be performed by running setup from the media with the existing install?
Sure would appreciate any insight to this dilema.
