This mainly applies to the window settings, not the drawing settings. Where it has work/model tabs at the bottom of the window, those tabs dissapear from time to time. The MEP Display that allows you to choose 1-line or 2-line Representation is no longer at the bottom of my screen. Things have just gone hay-wire and I'm trying to figure out how to get everything back to the way it was. I've tried looking at the help menu, it justs tell me what those tabs do, not how to bring them back once they've dissapeared. I'm not even sure what keywords I should type to find the answer.
Everyone at my workplace says my computer is possessed or cursed.
I'm thinking you guys might have a more logical explanation.

I like easy ones....of course I only know this after I fell victim to it myself. There's a toggle in the bottom right corner of the program window, see attached.

Cheers,

Hate to burst your bubble, but that doesn't bring back my necessary tabs. Well apparently they aren't necessary because I survived without them for a while. Still. Those MEP Display Representations won't show.

OK, now I have the specific terms, hopefully it will make things easier.
My "application status bar" appears at the bottom of the ABS window, and when I press that toggle button you said, it just makes more icons appear in the application status bar. It's my "drawing window status bar" that's missing. I don't know how to get that to appear.there is no little "drawing menu icon" to press because the entire bar is gone, so I can't adjust the settings that way. I'm still stumped and hoping for some answers. Thanks for trying though.

Can you see an arrow on the lower right of your screen? (See attached).

If you can click on it and you can turn on and off the scale, display representations etc.

If you can't try a different profile. One of my designers lost all of their same things you are talking about and the only solution we found was using a new profile.

Hope this helps.

Nope sorry, that bar doesn't show. It's not that the buttons are missing, It's the whole bar. It's supposed to appear right under the Work/Model tabs, but it doesn't. I guess most people haven't had this problem before.
I guess my computer is special.

Nevermind, Sorry Kyle. You were right. For some odd reason it wouldn't show just by clicking on it, it had to be toyed with in addition to clicking the toggle button.
