"Check web for live enablers"

I have the same problem as willwould at http://www.cadtutor.net/forum/showthread.php?7526-ACAD_PROXY_ENTITY :  "Check web for live enablers" is enabled in Options > System, but it does nothing.  PROXYSHOW was initially set to 0, so I set it to 1.  No change.

(Before I changed PROXYSHOW, when I opened a drawing that announced it needed object enablers, the Proxy Information dialog had "Do not show proxy graphics" selected, and the other 2 Proxy Graphics selections were grayed out.  Now, the other 2 options are still grayed out, but "Do not show proxy graphics" is not selected.  Whether I select it or not, nothing happens.)

I am running AutoCAD 2010.  A previous version of AutoCAD behaved the same way.

How do I get "Check web for live enablers" to actually work?  Trying to do it manually is NOT user friendly (as willwould observed), and drawings that "want" object enablers usually need 2 dozen of them.

One word of caution before you install them. You don't actually need Object Enablers to show the special objects created in the verticals like ACA, MEP, or C3D, those objects will usually display just fine as Proxy Graphics. You only need the OE's if you need to edit or manipulate those objects in your drawing. If you do edit them, I don't believe they'll retain their special properties if the drawing is re-opened in the vertical product it was originally created in.

Once installed, OE's are loaded every time you open AutoCAD whether you need them or not. This will add a few seconds to your AutoCAD startup time. If you find you don't need/want the OE's anymore, you can uninstall them from the Control Panel.
