Workspace problems

New problem discovered when trying to toggle image frames on and off.
Clicking on the Icon for toggling frames would produce this message....

C:\Program Files\AutoCAD Raster Design 2010\AeciUi51.arx cannot find a dll or
other file that it needs.
Unknown command "IFRAME". Press F1 for help.

If you switch your workspave to 2D Drafting and Annotation you'll get the same message whenever you try using any of the icons on that pallet. I forwarded a description of the problem to IT. They've been working with experts at DC CADD to help eliminate these bugs. I'll let everyone know if and when it gets resolved.

Hopefully everyone is getting used to using 3D 2010. I haven't completely stopped using 3D 2008 yet but probably only use it about 5% of the time.

Trying the recommended fix was unsuccessful so I had to contact our IT department for help. They recommended the following solution which fixed the problem.

"Here is the fix – I put the file here: \\guentherdata\disk2disk\appl-2\acad\2010\Install shortcuts\Patches

Take the mapexport.ini file that is there and copy it to: c: \Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Autodesk\C3D 2010"

If your mapexport.ini file already exists, overwrite it with this new one. So far everyone has had success with this repair.
