missing the settings icon (gear to the right of the Toggle Override highlight)

Hello...

already restarted the software?

did you notice when this error started to occur?

make sure all updates for your software are installed...

[Titanium5]

Hi Matias,

1. restarted software & restarted PC more than once.

2. it started when I tried to add the missing icon and all I get is a tiny little dot; not the full gear icon.

3. all software updates have been installed.

Hi @Titanium5 

Type in the command "CLASSICLAYER". Do you see the setting option now?

try resetting your Autocad settings

Why do I need to go around? why doesn't the program simply display the gear correctly?

@Titanium5 ,

• Reset AutoCAD to defaults (see How to reset AutoCAD to defaults).
• Reinstall AutoCAD with local administrator permissions (see How to repair or reinstall an AutoCAD installation and Recommended uninstall and reinstall procedures for AutoCAD).

Thank you for the suggestions. Unfortunately, it didn't fix the issue. However, I will learn to live with the workaround.

@Titanium5 Select a different workspace: does LAYER appear? If yes, go back to your workspace and see if that reset it.
If not, read this for other things to try https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/autocad/troubleshooting/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/Layer-...
