Normally you would use CleanScreen to supress Toolbars, the Caption bar, Windows Taskbar and Tool Palettes in AutoCAd 2004 or 2005. Someone had just recently asked for a way to keep Tool Palettes up on the screen when using the CleanScreen command, which makes sense if you think about it. After taking a look into it for a little bit, I developed an example of a program using Visual LISP and a couple command reactors. The same could be created in VBA which maybe I will do at a later date. The LISP program can be downloaded from the HyperPics website. To load the program copy the code into a file like acad.lsp or acaddoc.lsp and place that file into your AutoCAD support path. The other option would be to extract the file from the ZIP file and then just add it to the Startup Suite in Appload. There is no command to run once the program is loaded. Run the CleanScreen with a Palette on the screen and it should remain visible. Download the file ReactorCleanScreen.zip for the program code.
Sincerely,
Lee Ambrosius
Does anyone know of a lisp that can run cleanscreen on a 2002 version of AutoCAD?
