My
objects do not highlight anymore when I select them.
To restore the "Highlighting" of objects when selected,
type the command HIGHLIGHT at the command prompt, and set
it to 1, this is ON.
My
objects do not appear during the move or copy command.
To see the objects when you are moving them, type the command
DRAGMODE at the command prompt, and set it to AUTO.
My
"OPEN Dialog Box" has disappeared!!!!
In AutoCAD, go to TOOLS>OPTIONS and select the system tab.
Change the "Start Up" to "Traditional Startup
Dialog." In R14, to restore the File dialog box, type
the command FILEDIA at the command prompt, and set it to 1,
this is on.
My

My

I
am lost in 3D, I think!?!?!
To get back to the original plan view of a drawing, type the
command PLAN with 2 returns. This will return you to the base
plan view.
I
lost a toolbar and AutoCAD says it's open?!?! Type
-TOOLBAR, then the toolbars name. When it asks for a location,
type left. This will restore the toolbar to the top left of
the screen.
How
do I remove that arrow thing (UCS Icon). Type UCSICON
then use the Preference option to access new icon options.
In 14 and prior, to restore the UCS icon, type the command
UCSICON at the command prompt, and adjust as needed.
AutoCAD's
Autosave Feature
AutoCAD
has an autosave feature that is often not used. To set up
the autosave feature, type SAVETIME at the command prompt
or look in the Options Dialog box. Here, type in how often
you want AutoCAD to autosave for you. We suggest 10-20 minutes.
If your computer does crash, the autosave file is called dwgname*****.SV$,
unless it was changed in the configuration. Just rename it
to a DWG file (TEMP.DWG) and open it like any other AutoCAD
drawing.
