In the Tools menu I no longer have any entries after the f-6 thru f12. This should have the 'adjust object centers', boolean operations and such but theyr'e no longer there.

What do I need to do to get it back? Need it badly for work.

Again, I have reinstalled everything from DX9 to card drivers to AC3d and still the same. No viruses, either.

Please advise.
Thanks,

Did you reinstall the plugins?

Check the AC3D console window when AC3D starts. If AC3D finds and loads any plugins, they are reported there.

If you are missing all the menu items from the tools menu, something has gone very wrong - check the console. It's possible that something failed on startup.

Yeah, I did reinstall all the plugs--had to, I use them for everything. :)
Now that you mention it, everything in the object menu is GONE. And everything in the surface menu under 'flip triangle egde'.

Oh, my. Now what have I done???

Very odd. Not heard of this one before.

Somethings has got messed up in the TCL folder. Perhaps you've got some corrupted files?

I recommend an uninstall (via windows control panel), then reinstall. First without plugins, then check to see if it's OK.

Before reinstalling 4.0.8 I took a hard look at the disk and found bad blocks around the ac3d area. I think that was it--the real source of the problem.
After reinstalling the app & plugins, it's all there now. My bad, sorry.
