AutoCAD application can be maximized or minimized through automation by utilizing the ‘WindowState’ property of the Application object as shown in the following sample code:

‘To minimize the application

Application.WindowState = acMin

 

‘To maximize the application

Application.WindowState = acMax

 

‘The window is normal (neither minimized nor maximized).

Application.WindowState = acNorm

    3D cad drafting looks complex… I’ve just started interior design classes and I can’t wait to get out of 2D modelling but 3D drafting looks intimidating! :)

    How do we navigate to this setting. The format looks like a registry entry, but I am not finding it there.
