Autocad Dictionary not working

Autocad Dictionary not working

(OP)
Land Desktop Companion 2008:


The dictionary will not work.  There is only a hadfull of "A" words in the custom dictionary (custom.dic) file.  How do I get the dictionary to default to the main dictionary.

It will not recognize any word I just typed in this message.

Grrrrrrrrrr.....

I think it might be a bug with 2008.  Someone has it installed in the drafting department and his does not work either.

Update...

Spell checker will not recognize the American Dictionary.  WHYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!

Canadain dictionary is fine.  I assume the French one is fine too.  (kinda hard to read though)

RE: Autocad Dictionary not working

Hi,

Dunno if this helps at all but try the DCTMAIN system variable - look it up in HELP for a list of values / dictionaries..

Sorry, if its not helpful..

I tried that.

I found a way around the problem.  Not sure if it is the proper fix, but it worked.

I copied the enu.dct file (the one with the most commonly used words) and replace the enu.dct file that has the coded stuff in it.

Hope I didn't break anything :)

Worked though!

Anyone know where I can get a list of english words to add to the dictionary file?
