[Anonymous]

Hello i'm having a problem with the alignment of the command line text, i don't know why the text is aligned to the right... does anybody know how to align the text to the left?

 

Thanks!

Hello alejo_vega, and welcome to the Forums!

I am having a hard time reading the little screenshot you posted.

Can you please attach the screenshot to the post so we can get a better look?

Also, what version of AutoCAD is this?

[Anonymous]

the version is 2017, i don't know how to attach the screenshot...

have you tried closing the program and opeing it again?

[Anonymous]

yes.. i tried in the CUI configuration but i didn't find anything for command line configuration...

If you dock the command line, does it still behave like this?

[Anonymous]

when the command line is dock the text align at the left... but when is not dock it align right

I have tried and I cannot duplicate this error on my system in Windows 7 and AutoCAD 2017. It aligns left no matter what I have tried.

Have you tried resetting AutoCAD to defaults?

How to reset AutoCAD to defaults

Can you please try logging into Windows as a different user and see if the program behaves correctly?

If none of those things work, please send the following information:

What OS you are using?

What is the brand and model of your video card, and the driver version?

I believe what you are observing is standard behavior for the floating command line.  At least, I have the same behavior here on AutoCAD MEP 2014 - AutoCAD MEP 2016 in the as AutoCAD profile and the AutoCAD 2016 program.  Perhaps the designers were thinking that it keeps the focus of the design less cluttered with ghost text.  This would seem reasonable, especially if you like to keep the drawn geometry that you are working on close to the left part of the command line.

Does it bother you much?  I generally keep the command line docked because other things seem to work so much better.

@dbroad

That is very interesting, as two of us here at Autodesk were unable to duplicate the behavior, even when undocked.

@Anonymous

Does this behavior only display in Model Space?

i reset autocad to default settings, but the same problem with the command line...

@Anonymous

So you have tried resetting AutoCAD to defaults, and tried logging into a different Windows user profile, correct?

What Operating system are you using?

Can you please post a drawing that shows this behavior?

Can you try changing your workspace to see if that changes the display?

Also, can you please send a screenshot of your CUI command line settings?

Do you have any Large Fonts or Windows Themes installed?

I do not know if it is still actual. Anyway, in order to get rid of that strange alignment, just slightly increase the size of the command line in vertical direction, so it will able to contain at least 2 rows and the problem will gone. I struggled with the same problem. See pics below.

anyone found a solution (except docking) ? - for me the problem still persist in Autocad 2020

[cadffm]

1. You mean except docking AND except to entlarge it to more lines visible

2. Docking the commandline protects against some strange peculiarities that are always there when the command line is not docked.

    Not many problems, but really strange things (and YOU will never search for the issue in your commandline(position).

3. I guess it is an windows or graphic thing (both things outside of autocad)
