carlson 2015 window size

I can't find where the taskbar settings are locate. Taskbar at the command line does nothing and it's not listed in the Carlson help page?

Sorry Don, that fixed the problem for me in civil 3d but must not be an available sysvar in the oem version of autocad inside of carlson. 🙁

OK how about _taskbar at the command line that should be available in the OEM version.

Happy Sailing

Nope, nothing with _taskbar either..............

I'd rather be sailing 🙂

Don;

It looks like the taskbar sysvar has not been implemented in Carlson's installation of the autocad OEM engine even though it is available in the OEM package. Perhaps Ladd can shed some light on this. I would think that perhaps Carlson could provide a patch that exposes that sysvar to their users without too much trouble but then I'm not a programmer or anything approaching it.

Thanks your help, Randy!

I can't give any specifics or reasoning about why this particular variable is not exposed but I did search my computer Registry and see a http://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/autocad/troubleshooting/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/How-to-show-all-open-AutoCAD-drawings-on-the-Windows-taskbar.html&apos ;">TASKBAR variable listed for my 2015 Survey OEM product at:

[INDENT=1]HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareCarlson SoftwareCarlson SurveyR2015SURV-B001:409FixedProfileGeneral[/INDENT]

While I can't officially recommend the procedure, it would seem possible that modifying the variable at this location in the Registry might solve the described problem. It is important to stress that incorrect modifications to the Registry of a computer can have very serious consequences and this approach should only be performed with proper back-ups in place.

Don,

I am happy to report that if you use regedit and surf to the registry entry that Ladd has in his post, right click it and change the value to zero that should fix everything. Doing this has the same effect as changing the sysvar in civil 3d. I tested this on my machine and it works. Keep in mind that your registry entry may be slightly different than Ladd's depending on your particular version of Carlson, so if you surf to HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareCarlson and right click at that level select search and search for "taskbar" it will take you right to it, scroll down to the taskbar entry, right click it select Modify change to 0 and the disturbance in the force will be tamed. You may have to restart Carlson for it to read the new registry entry I'm not sure.

Now turn off your computer and hoist some canvas!

thank you, I will be trying this solution out. Canvas ahoy....

On second thought, I can't find the registry, maybe this is just a little beyond my ability.

in windows 7 click the start button and type regedit in the search box, then click the application that comes up as a result, provide the necessary permission and you're in...for safety sake it is a good idea to click menu: file-->export and save a backup of the registry (I put it in my documents and name it regback) that way if you get unexpected results you can use File-->import to restore your current settings. In windows 8 the search function is on the "bracelet" that pops out of the right hand side of the screen (bring it out by taking the cursor to the upper right hand corner of the screen and dragging down) all the rest is the same. Once you back up the registry then follow the above instructions to edit the key.
