Close Hidden Windows Function Not Working in Revit 2019.1 update

Hello everyone. I updated to Revit 2019.1 yesterday and have discovered that the "close hidden windows" feature is either no longer an option or it no longer works in this release. I have to now manually close all inactive windows with the "X" on each tab. While this is not terribkle it certainly was easier witht he "Close hiden windows" button.

I do not see in the release notes where this is noted as a disabled or removed feature. (http://blogs.autodesk.com/revit/2018/08/15/revit-2019-1-new-features-in-the-latest-release/?_ga=2.18...)

Any help explaining where it was moved to or why it was removed from the app is appreciated. 

Thank you,

BB

Is your issue the same as this other thread?

Where close hidden windows has been replaced with Close Inactive Views

Hi @BarryBinns

 

Please try the solution on this article: How to reset the Autodesk Revit ribbon, toolbar, and browser to default settings and let me know if this helps!

 

I tested the reset UI on Revit 2019.1 and it works. See image below:

Let me know if you have additional questions. Looking forward to hearing from you!

I had the same problem. I solved it by creating keyboard shortcut for (Close Inactive Views)

Go to file – Options- User Interface- Click on Customize for Keyboard shortcut- search for Close Inactive Views- Assign new key (for example CI) – Click OK.

Now once you type CI on the Keyboard, it will do the same job.

 

Thanks

Dave

Thank you Viveka, that was the answer. 

For all other responses to my issue I thank you as well. I was not clear in my initial question that the "close inactive windows" on the quick access bar was the one that disappeared and that I was looking for after the update. Thank you for all of your responses.

Thank you for your response to my issue. I was not clear in my initial question that the "close inactive windows" on the quick access bar was the one that disappeared and that I was looking for after the update to 2019.1. Thank you again for your help.

I ran across this thread trying to find the answer to why the close hidden/inactive windows wasn't in the quick access toolbar.  Another approach to getting it back on to the QAT besides resetting your UI is to go to the view tab and right click on the close inactive tool and choose "Add to Quick Access Toolbar".  The problem, however, with doing that is that the QAT is a fixed width item when above the ribbon. Even though there is plenty of room for an additional button for most users, added buttons end up on the fast forward looking button. Would be nice if either users had some input on the allowed width of the above ribbon QAT or if the UI had the intelligence to estimate the usable free space available based on screen resolution and to adjust.

ISSUE WAS NOT RESOLVED, YOU RATHER DANCED AROUND THE ACTUAL PROBLEM WITH SOME OTHER GIBBERISH. IN ESSENCE, THE LATEST UPDATE IS A FEW STEPS IN THE WRONG DIRECTION

Thank you G.Sivakrishna, Viveka's answer on 8/24 that I marked as solved, solved the problem of my "Close Hidden Windows" button not showing up on the Quick access tool bar in Revit 2019. This solved my issue but apparently others have been unable to get that remedy to work for them. Hopefully your post will assist those other users who unsuccessfully tried the repair she prescribed.

Thank you!

Andrew,

I thanked her because it was the solution for the issue I had with my installation.

I used the batch utility Viveka posted and it worked on the first attempt for my issue.

https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/revit-products/troubleshooting/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles...

I would suggest you download it try it again. Another solution may be to install the latest Revit 2019 update available on your subscription or maintenance page. Another solution may be to try G. Sivakrishna response on 10/30/2018, this may work for you.

I understand your frustration with the developers constantly changing the program away from ways we are used to. There is a site where you can add program suggestions when you think of something that may be useful to the application or request something be put back the way it was.d

 

 

Regards,

Barry

Hi @Anonymous

 

Sometimes the issues are specific to a user/ machine and other configurations.

 

I can understand your frustration, I'll be glad to look at your files and we can determine the cause of this behavior. 

Can you please post a journal and a screencast of what you are experiencing?
Also, see Revit - Collecting and sending diagnostic data to Autodesk Technical Support for sending diagnostic data to us to investigate further.

 

I'll be happy to create a support case and take a closer look at your issue. Let me know and I can create a private upload folder for you.

 

Looking forward to your reply update!

@Viveka_CD

 

I will like to share this fraction of the answer I get two months ago, after report the issue on Beta Portal. It work for me and other people's:

 


@ answer:

Would you please close Revit, delete this file, and re-start Revit again, then the Close Inactive Views icon would appear there. But sorry that your customized Revit UI will be deleted as well, including your previous added buttons in Quick Access Tool bar...
The UIState.dat file is located at: C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\Revit\Autodesk Revit 2019\ENU

 


This solve the problem reseting the use interface without needing other "workarounds".
