Reinstall F/X CAD or AutoCAD
In some rare cases, F/X CAD or AutoCAD may function incorrectly, requiring you to reinstall your installation.
We've never seen the Repair function in the AutoCAD Uninstall options actually fix anything. Meanwhile, the Reinstall option doesn't wipe out all your settings and can fix a number of issues. The Uninstall option is quite drastic and will remove personal settings. We highly recommend trying the Reinstall option before uninstalling and reinstalling.
Step 1: Uninstall and Repair Your Installation
1A. Open your Control Panel, and select Programs and Features.
1B. Select your AutoCAD or F/X CAD installation, and click Uninstall/Change.
1C. Click Repair or Reinstall.
1D. Select the Reinstall option.
Then click the Reinstall button in the bottom right corner of the Repair or Reinstall dialog box.
Restart your computer and open CAD. If it functions correctly, you've repaired the issue.

1E. If you repaired your installation but you're still having the issue that required the repair, restart your computer.
Open CAD. If it functions correctly, you've repaired the issue. If not, move on to the next step.
1F. If restarting your computer didn't fix the issue, follow our steps to uninstall and reinstall AutoCAD or F/X CAD.
