Annoying "proxy" warning

[trainguy]

Hi all.

When using Acad 2000i to open many of our Acad files generated by AutoCAD 2005, but saved as R2000i, we get the following mesage:

"The last command created proxy objects and proxy entities to represent original objects and entities whose parent ARX applications are currently not loaded.

These proxy objects and proxy entities may yield unexpected results during certain operations.

Missing application : Object DBX Classes
Total number of proxies: 1
Number of objects (no graphics): 1
Number of entities with no graphics : 0
etc.
etc."

How do I prevent this warning from ocurring?

Thanks in advance,

tg

I hate that thing, but I put up with it for about a whole year before I found out how to turn it off...

Tools, Options, ObjectARX Apps, "Do not show proxy graphics" and uncheck "Show Proxy Informatrion dialog box"

Keep in mind, if you click "do not show proxy objects", some elements of your drawing may be missing.

Borgunit (or anyone else in the collective),

Proxy objects are objects created by Parallel versions of AutoCAD (AutoCAD Mechanical, etc..)or from newer versions of AutoCAD (this is partly why AutoCAD 2000, 2000i, and 2002 are compatible). We use Mechanical and it has the ability to make bolts. When we double click on the bolt, we can up its size or alter its length on the fly. The actual "bolt" is just a bunch of AutoCAD lines that acts like a block and invokes Mechanical editing routines. Anyway, if you explode the bolt it becomes a bunch of lines. The lines now have no "smarts" anymore and have to be edited like any other line. So the thing Autodesk has done is to create new smart objects that can edited if you have the right tools (version).
