Dadgad Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 (edited) You can also disable the VIEWPORT CONTROLS in the lower left corner, on your 3D Modeling Tab in Options. You may want to play around with your Crosshairs too. Edited August 20, 2015 by Dadgad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Bethel Posted August 20, 2015 Author Share Posted August 20, 2015 You can also disable the VIEWPORT CONTROLS in the lower left corner, on your 3D Modeling Tab in Options. I don't see a setting for that 1. It would nice to get rid of it also. -David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Bethel Posted August 20, 2015 Author Share Posted August 20, 2015 No doubt you have figured out how to kill the NAVCUBEDISPLAY, by setting the variable to . I can't get this setting to stick to 0. Any ideas ? -David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadgad Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Go back and look at post #15 again, as I added a screenshot from the SYSVDLG which may help you . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lower left, as shown in the earlier screenshot (post #21). When I first posted, I misstated, as I thought it was on the Display Tab, but was wrong.

BlackBox Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 (edited) Lot's of people prefer old tools and technology for some good reasons. Some because they just don't like change. Others because they have difficulty learning. Some of these people that resist changing resort to petty insults for who knows what reason. Well said. Agreed - RobDraw's perfectly stated the behavior I observe since switching from a super massive employer, to a small 10 person shop. Not that large firms do not also suffer same on some level, but generally speaking, they inherently have a different perspective on the adoption of newer technologies than a small outfit (among other characteristics)... There's was certainly a lot less b!#%&ing when upgrades became available. Haha Edited August 20, 2015 by BlackBox I can haz a grammar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadgad Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 If you want your commandline background to be white as shown earlier, you can set that up on your Display Tab in OPTIONS, as shown in the screenshot. You can define all of the colors for the numerous different elements. Not sure, what Restore classic colors will do, might just be what you favor.

steven-g Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 One more just for the record, saves another dozen pixels of screen real estate, statusbar=0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkmcswain Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 It is saved in the Drawing, I use ACADDOC.lsp to set Drawing sysvars. Unfortunately, that also changes DBMOD, meaning you get prompted to save an otherwise unmodified drawing. Although you can't control existing drawings, you can set drawing saved sysvars in your template to avoid this situation there (if desired) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Bethel Posted August 20, 2015 Author Share Posted August 20, 2015 I do use the status bar coordinates quite a lot. In the original DOS releases, the status bar was at the top of the screen and hidden by popup menus when the mouse was there. -David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thumb button on mouse is enter, so I can just click away and close at the prompt. Template is fully set up, but doesn't help with existing drawing.
