HI @Anonymous,

I am not sure that I undersatnd what you are asking. Are you looking for the CLEANSCREEN feature?

Or, is this a Parallels question? If so, please check their support page.

Maybe ask in the Autocad MAC forum?

Hi @Anonymous,

Did you try the Parallels Support page? I am hoping they can provide a solution for you.

I am referring to the thickness of the window frame (yellow in the screenshot) about 0.3 mm wide completely useless.
The CLEANSCREEN command does not delete the problem.
I will try to post both in the Autocad forum for mac and on Parallels.

Hi,

Does this frame has yellow color as on screenshot?
Do you use Coherence mode?

I use it on mac Autocad for windows 64bit, because I have a long experience in this environment and can not adapt to the mac version that is graphically very different.
The version is 2015 under Parallels Desktop 11.1.3 and Windows 8.1.

the post imagery is in coherence mode, but also by coming out of coherence nothing changes.

In the screenshot I added the yellow band to highlight the position and thickness of the frame.

Sorry, but then I cannot understand what do you mean by "edge"?

Each window in macOS and in Windows have an edge, and edge is just the border of the window, the window cannot exists without its border (edge).

Do you mean you want to use Windows virtual machine in full screen mode? Like this:

If yes, then choose "Full screen" startup mode for the virtual machine in its settings:

I attach an enlarged image to the border I would like to reduce.
I tried the suggested changes but no changes occurred.
I also tried to modify the regedit registry:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER -> Control Panel -> Desktop -> WindowMetrics

and I tried to change the window size values by modifying the BorderWidth and PaddedBorderWidth keys, but no results I got.

I used Tiny Windows Borders and I finally managed to reduce but not delete (see imaggine new border).
There was another problem: the menu seems to have doubled as highlighted by the circle

Thank everyone for their contribution.

As I suspected the border is from Windows side.
BTW, with Windows 10 virtual machine I don't have such issue - Windows 10 application windows don't have borders just like macOS application windows.
