AutoCAD Map 5 (AutoCAD 2000) Dictionary Problem...

Nov 25, 2003 3 Replies

It seems I've done something to my dictionary in AutoCAD Map 5 (AutoCAD 2000) so that when I type "spell" into the command line, I get this error message:



"Unknown Dictionary: "DCT MAIN" Could Not Start Speller"



I asked a coworker if he was getting the same message, and he replied "no" so I know it's a problem with my computer, and not on the server side. I also know that the spell check works on my computer in AutoDESK Landdesk 3 so I also know it's limited to to AutoCAD Map 5. It worked previously, but I have no clue why it doesn't work now. In addition, I mainly use Map 5 instead of Land-Desk 3 so my preference would be to get the error fixed.



I've done a search for that "dictionary" but I couldn't find it or any file like it. I'm also not even getting the option to switch back to the default dictionary.



Thanks in advance for any assistance...
