Customizing the Status Bar at the Bottom of AutoCAD *Applies to: AutoCAD 2004 and 2005*
With the introduction of AutoCAD 2004 the
Status Bar area was redesigned to allow for users to toggle some of
the controls on and off. So if you are like me and rarely use
Grid and Snap you will find it nice to be able to turn them off.
Follow the steps below to control the display of some of the buttons
in the Status Bar area.
Step 1 -
Move the mouse cursor to the lower right
corner of the application window of AutoCAD. You will find
a small black down arrow there. Left click on it to bring
up the menu to toggle the buttons on and off for the Status Bar.
Step 2 -
After the button is clicked the menu will be
displayed on screen.
Step 3 -
The items that are currently being displayed
in the Status Bar area are the ones with a checkmark next to
them. Select the item to uncheck and hide the button in
the Status Bar or select one that was previously unchecked to
reactivate it in the Status Bar.
