MsgBox 'Toolbar: ' + sTBarName + vbCr + 'Status: Hidden' MsgBox 'Toolbar: ' + sTBarName + vbCr + 'Status: Visible' (alert (strcat 'Toolbar: ' sTBarName ' Status: Hidden')) (alert (strcat 'Toolbar: ' sTBarName ' Status: Visible')) (if (= (vlax-get-property oTBar 'visible) :vlax-true) STBarName (vlax-get-property oTBar 'name) OTBar (vla-item (vla-get-toolbars oMenuGrp) 'Viewports')

OMenuGrp (vla-item (vla-get-menugroups oAcad) 'ACAD') To modify it, substitute the appropriate menugroup, toolbar name, and properties. The following LISP and VBA code will tell you the current status of a specific toolbar. Go to the Tools one and find Toolbars to bring in your favorite little bar.How to check, at any time, whether a toolbar is shown or not, using either Visual LISP or VBA? Now you access to all your old Menu pull downs. If you have trouble remembering that there is a command that toggles it on called MENUBAR.

Now if you have 2009 or 2010, simply go to the Quick Access Toolbar and hit the far right button to get the fly out and chose Show Menu Bar. Autodesk cannot foresee everyone's methods, they can only work with who screams the loudest. After all, Customization is at the heart of any AutoCAD power user. Consider using ones that you are accustomed to. Actually they are repeated twice in the Ribbon, some are on the Home Tab and some also appear on the Annotate Tab. I know what you are thinking, that the commands there are repeated in the Ribbon. Next find one that you like to add to the interface. If you know the name of the toolbar, try typing -toolbar in the command line and you will have the option to turn it on or off, or you can right click on any toolbar and a list of all available toolbars will be available to turn on/off. In older versions of AutoCAD (20) you will have to do something else which I will show at the end. In 2006 there have been many changes, some you may or may not like. This time lets look at adding our toolbars we would normally associate with the Classic interface.įirst up, in 2011 this is now an option on the View Tab -> Windows Panel -> Toolbars command. In my last post I discussed the Quick Access Toolbar which is highly customizable to the user without being unwieldy.
