Hi,
>> I ended up just re-installing AutoCAD
Wow, you should think about your workstation, permissions and defragmentation (also for your registry).
Uninstalling and reinstalling and doing this a few times slows your workstation's performance. From the technical point of view this is the LAST option you should chose if something does not work as expected. You also won't buy a new car if the front left tire has lost a bit of air pressure.
It would have been one mouse click to the documents maximize symbol to bring you back. Also a maximize button should not be a miracle, at least not when you do software administration on the other side (uninstall and reinstall).
Please, first look for help before running this process.
Just my 2c, - alfred -
