DWG Trueview 2017 - Remove Start Tab

[ekelloLT9KL]

Not sure if this is the right place for this as I was unable to find a category for DWG Trueview.

Is there a way to turn off the Start tab in DWG Trueview 2017?  I've done this in AutoCAD 2017 (via the STARTMODE command) and was hoping to do the same in DWG Trueview 2017, however I can't type commands in Trueview.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi @ekelloLT9KL,

I also have turn off the start tab in Acad, but I think its not possible in True Viewer.

There is no command line and there is no option to change something!

Hi @mpeperkamp:  Thank you for your prompt response.  It's unfortunate that this is unavailable as an option in TrueView given that we have that option in AutoCAD!

@mpeperkamp:  Figured it out!  I got the idea from this website:

http://blogs.rand.com/support/2016/06/how-to-deploy-specific-settings-for-autodesk-dwg-trueview-2016...

You can go and edit the registry to add the "STARTMODE" command as a variable in the registry here:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Autodesk\DWG TrueView\R15\dwgviewr-0001:409\Profiles\<<Unnamed Profile>>\Variables

Just right click->New->String Value and name it "STARTMODE" without the quotation marks.  Then double click it and set the value to 0 to disable the Start tab!

As always, make sure to make a backup of your registry before editing it!

Esteban
