Text Window Opens with Every Opened Drawing-Can you toggle this off?

[ssmyth90]

Mornin'!

Up until recently, this never happened. Now, every time I open a new drawing in autocad, the text window opens up as a pop up. Sometimes it stays and sometimes it opens and closes quickly. It's the same window that appears when F2 is pushed.

I'm not sure why this started, but could someone provide some guidance on making this stop? I've seen some other posts saying the user should run as admin via the properties of a right click. Tried it, didn't work...It's just a tiny nuisance, but one nonetheless... Thanks so much!

Perhaps there is a call to (terpri) in one of your startup routines.

Are you a single user, and master of your domain? Meaning that nobody else has any control over your setup?

Or is there a CAD manager or someone otherwise in charge of maintaining the CAD systems and who could have added something to the config?

Also, did this start when you installed Carlson? Carlson is known for changing settings like this.

As far as I know, I have a standalone license and can edit whatever portion of the program I'd like. I can't install software, however.

I've had Carlson for about 5 years and this just started within the last week. I think they only thing I've done differently is open Civil 3D WITHOUT carlson last week to test out something. Beyond that, nothing is different.

I thought maybe it was a large file issue, but it happens regardless.

Autocad 2018:
If I de-select "Command Line" in the "Tools" pull-down menu, the command line dialog stays off when I start a new drawing using a template. I leave it off and shut-down Autocad, re-start Autocad, start a new drawing from a template, no command line. If you mean you're opening another drawing (instead of starting a new drawing) then I would say it may be the profile. Start Autocad and start a new drawing, turn off the tool I mentioned above, then shut-down Autocad (saves the profile on shut-down). Worth a try! My best guess.

From the image you attached I wonder if either Carlson Software or Quick Keys which seem to be loading when you start up has anything to do with it.
Otherwise like R.K. McSwain said there may be a call to (terpri) in one of your startup routines in an mnl file, acaddoc.lsp, S::STARTUP, a script, or in some code loaded by one of those means.
