    Anybody know the Setenv, Setvar, Registry switch to change the bottom option bar (Snap, Grid, Ortho, Polar etc.) from icons to text please?

     

    I know yu can right click and change it there, but I would like to do it when setting up new Autocad upgrades.

    Please use plain text.

    Eddy,

     

    look inside the following registry key

     

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Autodesk\AutoCAD\Rxx.x\ACAD-xxxx:xxx\Profiles\StatusBar\Application

     

    Cheers

    Moshe

    I found the registry value here:

    Profiles / <myprofile> / General / "AppStatusBarUseIcons" =dword:00000000 (0) for off and 00000001 (1) for on.

     

    Problem is that:

     

    (vl-registry-write

    (strcat "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\" (vlax-product-key) "\\Profiles\\<my profile>\\General\\")

    "AppStatusBarUseIcons" 0)

     

    Does not work - any suggestions?

    We are on Autocad Architecture 2012 I've just checked and it's the same for 2011... search your registry for:

    "AppStatusBarUseicons"
