CAD/Properties Pallete

Question
When I pick an object for editing using the Properties Palette, the Properties Palette displays, however, nothing inside the box shows for the edit.  What did I turn off?

Answer
John,

Not sure - possibly something is corrupted. Try reloading your standard menus. On the command line type 'menu' & reload your 'acad.mnu' file (you may have to search for it. Normally located under

C:\Documents and Settings\ [Your Profile Name]\ Application Data\ Autodesk\ Autocad 200X \ enu\ Support

On the Select Menu File dialog box, set the Files of type drop-down list to "Menu Template (*.mnu)" so you can see the full list of un-compiled menus.

Note:
Recompiling your acad.mnu supercedes previously loaded customized menus. If you customized any other menus before, they will have to be reloaded too, including your express tools. Do this by invoking the 'menuload' command & recompile the rest of those *.mnu.

Hope this helps, let me know!
