Ski_Me Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 So I hit the clean screen button instead of the manage xref button at the bottom of the screen. My ribbon disappeared and my panic level went to 9. So for 15 minutes I went through all the settings in AutoCAD looking for someway to get the ribbon back. Frustrated I got up went and got a drink of water came back and sat down, then it hit me I typed ribbon and it reappeared like magic. Wasn't any good for my blood pressure but I was able to back on track. Clean screen should not be a default command or a button that you can hit.

ReMark Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 You somehow managed to hit a button that is practically buried in the lower right hand corner of your display and located near nothing of significance. Was your free hand in direct contact with an electrical wire? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was your free hand in direct contact with an electrical wire? If you use XREFs the button for managing them is right next to the clean screen button. When I hit it I was in a rush to get the drawing done before lunch (which didn't happen). So if your like me and have to use reading glasses and have to rush sometimes hitting it is not so far fetched. But from now on I will be invoking the XREF command by typing it in.

nukecad Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 The button is a toggle, click once to turn cleanscren on, click again to turn it off. If you don't want to hit it by mistake can you not just remove it using the customisation menu? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadgad Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Good point nukecad, yes you can click on the drop down menu icon next to it on the status bar, and deselect it, so it does not display. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I was saving some time by using the on screen buttons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dana W Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Never mind. This was mentioned. Click the Customization button to the far right of the task bar and uncheck the task bar buttons you find dangerous, like Cleanscreen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
