Grip Problem

[bhl]

I have exported a file from Microstation to AutoCad. Now when in A-Cad when I select an object, only one grip will appear. I have checked my settings and grips are enabled. What do I need to do to get my grips back. BTW this Auto-Cad 2000.
Thanks,
B.L.

If the object is a block, you have to enable "Grips within Blocks"

I checked that already and that command is enabled as well. Still only one grip. I have de-enabled and backed out and then gone back enabled them again. Still no luck.

Are the entities blocks?
If not, what are they?
If so, and you explode them, are the entities objects that AutoCAD recognizes?

Hi bhl,

what kind of objects do You have? Blocks, groups...?

Here's a lisp for toggeling the grips in blocks:

(defun c:gb()
(setvar "gripblock" (abs(1- (getvar "gripblock"))))
)

Maybe it's better to save the *.dwg as a dxf-file

yes, the entities are exploded blocks and are recognizable. I am beginning to think that the file is corrupted. If I do a zoom all, the object dissappears not to be found. I have the same problems if I open the file directly as opposed to inserting as a block in another file. Anyway, I went ahead and scratchbuilt what I needed. It was quicker and less frustrating than dealing with a screwed up file. Thanks for the input guys.
