Menu Bar

Every time I start Autocad I have to toggle the Menubar pull down menu. I like having the pull down menu but it is annoying to have to toggle this every time I start the software. Is there a setting I'm missing somewhere that will have the menubar already loaded when I start Autocad?

You could add this to your "Acad.lsp" file

(setvar "menubar" 1)

But it sounds like something else may be doing this, and setting it to 0 (hidden). You might check for that first.

Hey @darrenguillory 

@rkmcswain  suggestion is very great! Just set the system variable MENUBAR to 1. A step further to this is to save that workspace (gear icon in the status bar), so you don't have to to toggle each time.

You'll just need to switch to your saved workspace that incorporates one of your many custom settings.

Thanks to those who responded so quickly. The fix was even simpler than I thought. Under Workspace Settings if you set it to Automatically save Workspace changes it remembers the menubar pulldown menus. See photo below.
