Timber Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Hi folks, I'm fairly new to Autocad Architectural desktop 09. I seemed to have lost much of my user interface. All of my toolbars are gone and just the red A is in the top left hand corner. I don't know how this happened, I just closed the program and reopened it(after registering it) and everything was gone. I appreciate any help you can send my way. thanks in advance............Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Is there a command line? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timber Posted December 3, 2009 Author Share Posted December 3, 2009 No Command line. I'm trying to find it to right click on it but.....no. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkent Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Do you have a drawing up? If no, open or start a drawing. If yes, Options, Profiles, load a different profile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Is there anything showing to the right of the big red A? Is there anything showing (buttons) at the very bottom of your screen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timber Posted December 4, 2009 Author Share Posted December 4, 2009 The command line is present and I can type into it. The tool palettes design and properties boxes are on auto hide where I put them on the left side of screen. There just isn't any other tool display. No way to access lines, circles, polylines. No 3d modeling, no dimensions....no anything...it all vanished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 OK...I thought you said there was no command line. If there is one type CUILOAD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timber Posted December 4, 2009 Author Share Posted December 4, 2009 Remark, there is nothing to the right of the big red A. I can't right click on anything to bring up the tool bar reference Rkent, I tried opening another project and it loaded the same way....no tool bars, no way to access toolbars. It is frustrating and perplexing. thank you.......Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timber Posted December 4, 2009 Author Share Posted December 4, 2009 I typed in cuiload then chose 3d solid editing. It now appears at the top of the screen, with huge icons, but at least it appears. When I just right clicked on it I could not access any other toolbar..just the 3d solid editing thanks........Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReMark Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 You're welcomed. Maybe you should take a moment and jot down what you did to solve the problem in case it occurs again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timber Posted December 6, 2009 Author Share Posted December 6, 2009 The real problem is my brand new computer. And I think I talked to ReMark about this before. I'm using a HP pavilion Entertainment PC with Windows Vista. If I try to view my 3d drawings with free orbit, the program locks up and then I have to close it using Windows task manager. The user interface disappears after the program freezes, even if I have saved it repeatedly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Please provide us with the specs of this new computer including the amount of installed physical RAM and the make/model of the graphics card. How big is the file you're working with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
