Clicking on an entity with a hyperlink minimizes AutoCAD.

We have one computer out of many that minimizes autocad when a hyperlink is followed (ctrl click)

How do I keep autoCAD from Minimizing?

Hi ChetHugo8368,

Try to reset the AutoCAD settings to default from the AutoCAD program groups
Hope this helps,

Cheers, Nicolas

I have tried reseting, I even uninstalled and reinstalled.

If you create a fresh windows user account on that machine, do you end up with the same results ?

I mean if you create a fresh windows user, log in windows using this new account and start AutoCAD from there....

I have logged in with different domain accounts that had not previous used this work station and it has the same behavior.

Hello Chet Hugo,

I'm sorry you didn't received an answer about this issue earlier, but now that I saw your post, I want to let you now that this is the intentional program's behavior and cannot be changed.

However, this is already logged with development as a wishlist item, in case you consider this to be SUPER important, please go to the Product Feedback and/or to the Ideas Station websites to add weight to this wish, and maybe our developers could modify this some day.

Thank you for your inputs!

Have a great day!

almost 10 years and still an issue.

Yup - I thought it was just me.

even a suggested workaround to *almost* maximize the window, but not actually have a maximized autocad application window doesn't work, either. It still minimizes when you click a hyperlink. 

That is time wasted for the end user who has to re-maximize after every hyperlink click. That adds up - time IS money!

@thaydenCJMLL @daniel What is unique about the one PC that does this? Office full of AutoCAD 2023-24-25 users in WindowsOS here, no one is seeing this at all.
