Command line auto complete text showing on the right side
The command line auto complete text had suddenly started showing on the right side of the command line. How can I move it back to the left side of the command bar? Note: I have reset my profile settings and this does not fix it.
Hi again,
I have been searching around
maybe if we change the dynamic settings(Where the Dynamic Prompt box appears) this might help, here’s how:
Use the Command
DYNMODE = 3
Here’s the whole table on all options:
0 ->All Dynamic Input features, including dynamic prompts, off
1->Pointer input on
2->Dimensional input on
3->Both pointer input and dimensional input on
Cheers 🙂
I’ve encountered this problem before but i do not believe it has been solved yet. I think it may be a hardware specific issue but i’m really not sure.
Hi there CivilTekton and welcome to CAD Answers,
I’d suggest you first try to disable the suggestion list and re-enable it.
here’s how:
- In the command window, click .
- On the Input Settings list, uncheck:
- AutoComplete.
- Restart AutoCAD.
- Re-enable Autocomplete using same procedure above.
if that doesn’t work try to reset AutoCAD settings to defaults here’s how:
For most versions of AutoCAD 2012 and later (including AutoCAD-based vertical products), the reset utility can be found in the AutoCAD program group located in the Windows Start Menu. The reset utility gives you the option to back-up your settings first. Once the reset is complete, AutoCAD automatically opens and initiates its secondary installer. For AutoCAD 2011 and older (and versions that do not have the reset utility), a manual reset must be done to reinitiate the secondary installer (see Reinitiating the Secondary Installer for AutoCAD).
Windows 7:
- Start menu > All Programs > Autodesk > AutoCAD 201x > Reset Settings To Default.
Windows 8:
- Click the Windows button to access the Start Screen.
- Right-click the bottom of the screen.
- Click the down arrow to access all the installed apps.
- In the AutoCAD section, click “Reset Settings to Default.”
Windows 8.1:
- Click the Windows button to access the Start Screen.
- Move your cursor down and click the down arrow to access all the installed apps.
- In the AutoCAD section, click “Reset Settings to Default.”
Windows 10:
- Start menu > AutoCAD 201x > Reset Settings To Default.
Note: The reset utility specifically for AutoCAD 2016 is found under Start menu > Autodesk.Prior to the Windows 10 Anniversary Update:
- Click the Windows button to access the Start menu.

- Click the down arrow to expand ‘Autodesk’.
- Scroll down and click on ‘Reset 201x Settings To Default’.
Mac OS:
There are multiple ways to get to the reset option in AutoCAD for Mac.To reset only the palettes in AutoCAD:

- For all versions of AutoCAD for Mac:
- Click Preferences under the AutoCAD menu.
- Click the Application tab.
- Click the button “Reset Application Options.”

Hi JavaParaTrooper,
Unfortunately neither of those options worked. By the way, I am running AutoCAD 2017 on Windows 10.
Cheers,
