Steps To Resolve

  1. In Promis.e, type OPTIONS at the Command prompt. This will open the Options dialog.
  2. In Options, select the Files tab, expand Support File Search Paths, and note the path. It should be something like:
    C:\Documents and Settings\(your login)\Application Data\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2009\R17.2\enu\Support
    or
    C:\Users\admin\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2009\R17.2\enu\Support
  3. Close the Promis.e application.
  4. Browse to the path noted using Windows Explorer.
  5. Copy the acad.CUI file or acad.CUIX file located in that folder to another folder as a backup.
  6. Start plain AutoCAD.
  7. Type OPTIONS at the command line.
  8. Select the Profiles tab, select the <> profile, and click Set Current. Delete the "promise" and "ECAD_CAD" profiles.
  9. Close the Options dialog.
  10. Type CUI at the command line. This will open the Customize User Interface dialog.
  11. In the upper left pane on the Customize tab, right-click on "ACAD" at the very top of the tree and select Reset ACAD.CUI. Click Yes at the prompt. Click OK to exit the Customize User Interface dialog.
  12. Start Promis.e.
