How can I Reset Settings to Default in AutoCAD?

I want to return my AutoCAD /LT to factory settings. How can I do this and can I save my customizations so I can restore them later?

Sometimes the easiest way to correct application problems is to restore the original “factory” settings. This can be done quickly and easily.

  1. Do one of the following:
    • Windows 7: Click the Windows Start button  (All) Programs   Autodesk   <Product Name>   Reset Settings to Default.
    • Windows 8: On the Windows Start screen, right-click (or use the swipe up gesture from the bottom edge of the screen) and click All Apps. Scroll to the Autodesk section, and click <Product Name>  Reset Settings to Default.
    • Windows 8.1: On the Windows Start screen, click the All Apps button located near the lower-left corner of the screen (or use the swipe up gesture from the bottom edge of the screen). Scroll to the Autodesk section, and click <Product Name>  Reset Settings to Default.
    • Windows 10: On the Windows Start menu, click All Apps  Autodesk   Reset Settings to Default.
  2. In the Reset Settings – Backup message box, choose the option that you want.

Thanks John, this fixed my copy of AutoCAD 2017 which was giving me massive lags when trying to save as and open files. 

 

Your guidance is really appreciated.

I have the same issue. Resetting to default did not solve the issue.

 

It will remember the value of 0 but I really want it to be 2.

 

Setting it to 2 will revert to 1 in all drawings once they are closed and reopened.

 

All lisp routines are on demand and nothing runs at startup and none use FRAME or WIPEOPTFRAME.

HI @moon47usaco,

 

This thread pertains to Resetting to defaults. What is the issue you are having with your AutoCAD and which version are you using? I would like to move your post to its own thread so you can get some participation from the Community.
