Propector/Settings Menu and Ribbon vanished

[GreeneSWCD]

Was working on a drawing, then poof, they're gone.  How do I turn them back on? 

thanks.

[Jay_B]

Possibly the "minimize" button was toggled?

Click on it and it toggles through the various options.

Or _Ribbon command if not loaded.

My ribbon is back now, so how about the prospector menu down the left edge?

[Jay_B · Accepted solution]

Home Tab>Palletes>Click the hammer

I do this a lot. I like to use Ctrl+O to open a drawing and every once in a while, I'll accidentaly hit Ctrl+0 (that's a zero). Ctrl+0 will take you into full screen.

Try hitting Ctrl+0 and see what happens.

And that would be .RIBBONCLOSE

[GreeneSWCD]

Got it! Thanks guys. (Used Jay B's response)

Brian makes a very good point as to what may have caused the issue to occur.

The Command CLEANSCREENON (Ctrl 0) forces RIBBONCLOSE.

If this is what occured you can use the CLEANSCREENOFF command to revert back to the way your screen looked previously (including reopening the Toolspace).

Glad to hear it's working again.

This brings up a good question, do you guys know of a list of commands printed anywhere online?

For Civil 3D 2012 commands there's a list by category Here

As far as the AutoCad commands you could view the Command Aliases under Express Tools>Tools>Command Aliases or seek a command reference in the AutoCad help.
