Topic: 2008 info center/help popup disable

[alanjt]

in 2008, i've noticed that they've added a new feature, help/info center at the top right of your autocad. this is incredibly annoying and i want to get rid of it. i noticed that some people don't have it on their install, but the have no idea how they turned it off (or it was never on on their install). does anyone know how to get rid of this?

You must edit the registry. Browse in Regedit to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Autodesk\AutoCAD\R17.1\ACAD-6000:409\Applications\InfoCenterAcConn

Change the LOADCTRLS value to 0

Note that that key is for the US version of C3D, the actual location may vary depending on country version of C3D.

I should note, too, that I learned this from Sinc.....

If it is just the popup notification, as your topic states, you don't need to edit the registry.

Just click on the 'star' and then the 'settings' button. The option for the 'popup' is in there. I just turned it off on one machine this week because it kept popping up.
