Here is what is listed at the Autodesk site: Are any of the Express Tools built into AutoCAD 2002 and the AutoCAD 2002-based products? Yes, the technology behind the following Express Tools are now a part of the product: ATTIN, ATTOUT, ATTSYNC, BATTMAN, CLOSEALL, FULLPATH, GATTE, LAYTRANS, MPEDIT, PACK, PLJOIN, PSBSCALE, and PSTSCALE. Hope this helps.

Can you list them?
I have done everything that you suggest religiously. I have also tried to load the files, etc as suggested in the AutoCAD bulletin. Most everything looks and works except a few of the commands. As an example mcopy gives you an unknown command + mcopy. Press F1 for help on the command line.
There seven or eight of the commands that doesn't work. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Is it possible that the acettest.fac is corrupted? If so, where can I get a new copy. My version 2000 disk will not work with windows xp. 'LUCAS' wrote in message news:[email protected]adrTaRb.

Hi AllHas anyone managed to load the Express Tools in 2002? I have tried and cannot get it to load. Cheers Greg. Are you sure?
These don't do anything when I type them into the command line (acad2002). PSBSCALE, PSTSCALE?

Can you list them? I recently helped a client who was having no luck getting Express Toolsto work.
Never did figure our WHY it didn't work, but did get it working finally. We found that it did not work when launching with the client's custom profile - the menu would come up empty. But it DID work when launching with a default shortcut to the default profile - Express menu loaded and compiled and everything worked. But if we then switched to the client's profile, the Express commands not longer worked - even in the same drawing session! Solution was to delete the client's profile, then copy the default profile to client's name.
We then made that the current profile and changed all the numerous settings, and loaded the client's menu. Express tools continues to work.
Anyhaving a similar problem might also might try this as well. There's some serious voodoo going on with these tools. The.MNL file does not load anything, so how do these tools get loaded?
If the menu is not loaded, the EXPRESSMENU command will load it - but how does that command get into AutoCAD? Can anyone explain how this is being done? Or is this not for us mere mortals to know?

I did this over the phone, but the client did say the path was in there. They could have been mistaken perhaps, if that's the only possible explanation. Frank, are you keeping mum on how the stufff gets loaded, and how the EXPRESSMENU command becomes available??? The struggle made me mighty curious!

Verify that the 'Express' folder is on the Support File Search Path (check the OPTIONS dialog).If this folder is not included the initialization code assumes that the Express Tools are not installed and doesn't try to complete the initialization. - Frank Whaley Autodesk, Inc.

No, I just thought I'd try the easy solutions first. We've included a method for examininginstallations to determine what's gone wrong.When you encounter a problem, run: (load 'acadinfo') ACADINFO and examine the 'acadinfo.txt' file that is generated (or send it to me for analysis).This tool will often indicate which ET pieces are missing. Depending on the version number, ACAD contains a 'acetlodr.arx' module which is marked load-on-startup.This module loads the 'acettest.fas' module if present; 'acettest.fas' in turn performs all other initialization (checking menu state, installing base commands, etc.). Frank Whaley Autodesk, Inc. Related to Express tools installation issues, can someone explain why RTEXT is not loaded when one copies the express tools directory to a server to be shared amongst a collection of workstations (we have a server based ADT 3.3 installation here) RTEXT will work once the tools are installed and the command is called into use (AutoCAD loads the routine upon usage) but not when you first start up the software from your desktop/menus.
Frank, The acadinfo thing would have been very interesting, but we're past that now. Might be helpful for others though.
Thanks for satisfying my curiosity about the startup. Ken Krupa Frank Whaley wrote in message news:[email protected]adrTaRb.

JL Jones wrote: Related to Express tools installation issues, can someone explain why RTEXT is not loaded when one copies the express tools directory to a server to be shared amongst a collection of workstations. The 'rtext.arx' module needs to have the correct Registry settings in order to load when RText objects are encountered.You can check this with the following LISP code, which should return '9': (vl-registry-read (strcat 'HKEYLOCALMACHINE ' (vlax-product-key) ' Applications RText') 'LOADCTRLS') Later versions of the Express Tools installer did not set specific paths in the Registry.If specific paths create a problem, you can remove the path from the 'Loader' Registry entry (I can't give you the exact location, as this too changed between releases).
Frank Whaley Autodesk, Inc. Autodesk forgot to mention a file on the Knowledge base related to migrating ExpressTools using Method #2. In the folder were ACAD.EXE sits is a file called acetlodr.arx (for ACAD ExpressTools Loader), keep this file.When you migrate ExpressTools to a new install copy this file to folder were ACAD.EXE sits.Open ACAD and define all your user profiles.Drag this file from Explorer on to the editor window of ACAD which will load it.Type in ExpressMenu at the command prompt.
ExpressTools will be loaded and configured as if you had installed it from the installation file. Oh, I have only tested this with ExpressTools V9 migrating to ACAD 2002.
