tomg Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 I never have given up, but after weeks of trying to figure out how to get them back, I have not been able and now I ask, HOW DO I GET THIS BACk? It is the menu bar with the tabs above the command line which you turn on and off and reference line weight. Quote
rkmcswain Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 The Drawing status bar is above the command line, and the application status bar is below the command line (by default). The application status bar contains the SNAP, GRID, ORTHO, etc. buttons. Do you have CLEANSCREEN enabled? This will hide these buttons. They can also be turned on/off individually using this menu in the lower right corner. Quote

I do not have the blue icon to right of pull down arrow in right lower corner Quote
rkmcswain Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 I do not have the blue icon to right of pull down arrow in right lower corner It's not the blue icon, it's the tiny black triangle. The blue icon is CLEANSCREEN. Quote

rkmcswain Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 the triangle only gives me three choices auotscaling visible annotation & annotatiopn scale LT must be different then, and I don't have a copy of LT at the moment at which to look. Quote
jhhsbcglobal Posted May 10, 2010 Posted May 10, 2010 Hello! I too have autocad Lt and my osnap, ortho, etc option keys have gone missing from my application status bar! The only thing that displays there now is annotation scale. If I click on the black arrow, I only get three options - all dealing with scale. Has anyone figured out how to get them back? FYI, I am running it on windows 7. It was working for a while and then vanished all of a sudden. If I am unable to get these buttons back, how can I enable ortho and osnap? Is there another shortcut? I cannot seem to find ortho anywhere. I don't know how to turn it off. Many thanks! Quote

jhhsbcglobal Posted May 10, 2010 Posted May 10, 2010 Thanks for your response. Now I have an even dumber question. Because I am working on a laptop, when I hit F3, my computer displays my battery life. Do you know how to disable that to get ortho/osnap to work? Many thanks again! Quote
