Hello, I don't know what it's called. But every now and then I'll slowly move my mouse up to the ribbon thinking of where the next tool I need. And when my mouse hovers over the file tab, it'll show a preview of that file's layouts & model space. When I go back to my model space, now it switches me into that files layout and freezes everything up b/c it loaded into that space up. And now I have to work my way back to my model space and remember what I was working on. It happens quite freaquntly and very annoying.
Please is there a way to turn off this horrible feature? When I have a lot of files open with 3D objects and views, this really stalls things up a lot.

True, we are not all in the same little box.
Some like the "Feature" and some do not, but if you are not going to answer the OP's question why even bother posting to the thread?
It ties back to the Bug eating post, just because you enjoy the crunch does not mean that the rest of us should just learn to enjoy the crunch.
Personally I dislike the "Feature", of course I am using AutoCAD Electrical and the accidental Layout Views are annoying at the least. Thankfully I can now disable them.
If someone posts their opinion about the usefulness of a tool, why can't I post an opposing view?
Don't take offense Rob, but just your opinion about the "Feature" is not helpful to those searching for a solution.
Now had you posted your opinion that you find the "Feature" useful, but if you want to disable it here's how and added the FILETABPREVIEW & FILETABTHUMBHOVER commands then the usefulness quotient goes way up.
Just my 2¢
So, please tell me how your opinions are useful to this thread?
I wholeheartedly agree with you, my opinion posts are NOT useful to this thread, as they are not answering the OP's questions or any of the users searching the knowledgeBase for the solution to this issue.
But that proves my point, when searching the forums for a solution to a problem with AutoCAD, the opinion posts are not really useful, the posts with a solution to the problem are what the searcher was looking for.

Not 100% true as OP expressed that he/she does not like this feature.

Why can't any others post their opinion as you can express your like/dislike?
IMO it won't be any issues if people respond other's ideas without using any offence language.
I personally don't see anything is wrong with @RobDraw posts which are not really off topic.
FILETABTHUMBHOVER (Not only OVER but HOVER) was a really great help. Also FILETABPREVIEW.
Now, I would kindly ask for a method for hover deactivation for Tool Palettes like Layer, External Reference...
Also, the possibility to set those Palettes for single-click-hide (instead of two clicks, as of now).
Yes, As I said, with these wise guys- feutures, autocad becomes more and more the most stupit program there is.
Autocad offers more features to help dumies to created something.....to sell more of thier program
Therefore....autocad becomes a program for dumies.
Thanks for reiterating a solution.
Your opinion has no bearing on the issue.
Hi, is there anyone who can tell me how to turn off Gizmo definitively ?
It apears every time at startup of autocad and I have to disable it all the time.
I cannot find answer to that problem.
Thanks....
The gizmo is not the topic at hand. Try finding a related thread or better yet, start your own thread.
Old post but may still be relevant. That variable can probably be changed in the system registry. If you're not familiar with changing system registry keys, it's really easy, just have to make sure you're changing the appropriate key. Go to Start and open Registry App or go to command prompt and type regedit.exe, then navigate to the appropriate key... it will be somewhere like this location...
Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Autodesk\AutoCAD\R24.2\ACAD-6100:409\Variables
