Close command line, permanently

[powder_special_900]

i am using Autocad 2006LT with drcauto toolkit max add on. I like to work with the command line closed but my problem is that it reopens up everytime i start a new drawing or open a drawing. Is there a way to stop this and for it to stay closed at all times? Thanks.

I don't use LT, but can you make the command line float? If so you should be able to make it autohide as well.

Just a thought.

Hi

Have you looked at system variable CLISTATE

Am I correct in thinking "drcauto toolkit max" gives AutoCAD LT AutoLISP support?

If yes, you could check the setting of CLISTATE, then act accordingly ( depending on returned value ).

Have a good one, Mike

Mike when i type in CLISTATE it comes up and says "CLISTATE = 1 (read only)" what does this mean and what do i have to do? thanks

Hi

CLISTATE

0 - Command Line is hidden
1 - Command Line is displayed

Therefore with a bit of AutoLISP you can check the setting of CLISTATE, if equal to 0 do nothing, if equal to 1 do something...

Have a good one, Mike
