2022 - remove Web and Mobile buttons from quick access toolbar

w64bit — Fri, 26 Mar 2021 23:50:00 GMT

If you uninstall Web and Mobile using msi from install folder, the buttons inside the program are not removed, like it is in 2021.

If you have at least one drawing opened, the buttons can be hidden from quick access toolbar but if you close all drawings one button is still there.

Hi,

interesting question, it's not part of the quick access toolbar, and it also does not look and feel like a standard menu item. I have not found any possibility to disable or hide it.

Yes, as I said, the button can be hidden when you have at least one drawing open.

But after you close all drawings, you don't have this option.

I still have option to hide it with no drawings open but even if I don't when I open another drawing it goes away.

Yes, you are right. The option is there.

Maybe someone from Autodesk can submit this: when you uninstall Web and Mobile, the buttons are still on QAT.

I tried to disable this via the Windows Registry, as some other features can be disabled. I navigated to version R24.1 > ACAD-5101:409>Applications>CloudAccess and changed "CloudAccess" to "CloudAccessOFF". While this works for other things, in this case AutoCAD just created a new "CloudAccess" key. That is probably why it still shows up even after you uninstalled it. It seems something in the programming is reinstalling it every time the program loads if it can't find it.

Fortunately for me, I don't see the Share button because I have a floating Layers toolbar in that location that covers it up.

Any news regarding a solution for this?

Autodesk Feedback is here https://www.autodesk.com/company/contact-us/product-feedback

UNDEFINE the commands.
And include a startup that keep them undefined at each startup, then add a reactor that stops their redefining.

Then... train train train your folks that it is against your policies to use them.

OR... roll back to R2021.

Anyone knows if 2022.1 has solved this?

Fix removal of:

- Web and Mobile buttons

- Share button

Yes, you can get rid of the web and mobile buttons, but there's no way to remove the share one.

And after AutoCAD restart the Web and Mobile buttons remain hidden?

If you close all drawings the Web and Mobile buttons are hidden?

Re: 2022 - remove Web and Mobile buttons from quick access toolbar

peterm — Wed, 14 Jul 2021 11:05:12 GMT

I closed all drawings and the buttons reappeared.

I then hid the buttons with no drawings open and now they don't appear at all.

I haven't tried closing and re-opening AutoCAD yet as I'm having issues with loading profiles and it's a bit of a pain.

@w64bitNo, not fixed in 2022.1. New, Open, Open from Web & Mobile, & Sheet Set Manager all reappear after program restart. Share button still not removable.

Are you the Autodesk account admin for your office? You can simply un-assign those features/abilities from each individual user assigned that AutoCAD license, then do as suggested to remove what icons can be removed.

Not much else you can do beyond what is already suggested.

Any solutions for removing the share button? I had a quick look in regedit but couldn't find a key to toggle it off. Covering it up with a toolbar is one workaround but I would much prefer a cleaner easy-to-modify GUI. Not a fan of shoehorned sharing shenanigans. Have sent a request to the link @pendean provided.

for 2023 - found this and it seems to work.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Autodesk\AutoCAD\R24.2\ACAD-6100:409\CadManagerControl\Share

Set EnableShare to 0

Have you been able to find the correct key in the Windows Registry for 2022 (the subject version of this thread) yet?

Re: 2022 - remove Web and Mobile buttons from quick access toolbar

CivilNJ — Mon, 13 Jun 2022 19:37:12 GMT

Since I don't have it installed, i can only guess that it should be similar and in the \23.1\ path rather than \24.2\.
