Autocad 2009 help

Gumbo

hi,

im running Autocad 2009 Lt at the moment, and as some of you may be aware of that the menu list that is usualy on the top browser of the screen is condensed into an A in the corner which you click on and wait for the drop down menu to appear with the edit, window options etc etc

just like this : http://heidihewett.blogs.com/my_weblog/2008/02/autocad-2009--1.html

is there any way to bring the browser back to the earlier look, with file, edit, window accessible from the main screen?

thanks,
keith.

Try pressing alt


(just a guess)

HI KC,

Yeah i think the new interface is a bit of a dog to use, have a look down in the bottom right hand corner of the screen and you will see a little symbol that looks like a "cog" click on this and select AutoCAD classic.

I think that should sort your problem,

sorry guys, none of those worked!
Alt done nothing!
and the cog setting just returned my screen back to no mans land LOL i lost all my shortcut icons! but there ok now.

looks like i just have to live with it!
thanks.
