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.

Eddy,
look inside the following registry key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Autodesk\AutoCAD\Rxx.x\
Cheers

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"
