- So, you've changed a setting somehow and now you can not find that menu, toolbar, window, etc. What to do? Well, if all else fails, restore all the settings. Not the best solution but in a pinch, it is a cure all! In the AutoCAD folder, choose restore and you are on your way to a factory reset. Enjoy, but remember to back up your files first. 😜

Wow, an Autodesk provided tool to reset things, if you are on 2022 or newer. Looks like it runs the migration tool with /reset switch. I have always done this by nuking the registry item for a given flavor, like HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Autodesk\AutoCAD\R24.1\ACAD-5101:409, then deleting the folder C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2022\, again according to the flavor being reset. That works on older versions than 2022 as I think that is the first release with the rest option, though maybe its there but not in start menu... Good to know both approaches.
Thanks for the great post. 👍
Thankyou so much!!
You ate very welcome.
Hey man can I ask you how do I do my ribbon and tool bar look like yours? Mine is different for some reason. Idk if it’s because an American version or something like that.
It should be the same. Make sure your screen resolution is not set too large or too small. Mine is also English *Canada.
so you lose all of your files?
No, only any settings and template files, unless they are stored in a folder other than default.
Thank you😁
You are welcome. Thanks for your support.
How can I set north as 0 degree bearing?
The view cube is the easy way if it is the orientation you are referring to. But, if you have changed the co-ordinate system, you can change back to the WCS located below the view cube. Hope this helps!
Thanks
