CMDBAR command does not work in V12 - Lost Command Line - Shift+F2 does not restore it

 I have a customer whose command line window has disappeared in V12. View - Command Bar (Shift - F2) shows that the command bar is ON. Using an old discussion item we tried CMDBAR but this is no longer an active command in V12. Can anybody help? I looked for an INI file but cannot find one. Not in a hurry to go hiking through the Windows Registry...

    Can you ask your customer to start BricsCAD with a fresh user profile, using default settings? Choose User Profile Manager in the Tools menu, then click the Create button and name the new profile. Make it current. Close and restart BricsCAD.

    Louis,

    Your suggestion would have worked, as I now know that the setting is controlled in the Registry within the Profiles section of HKEY_Current_User\...

    Note - the following information should only be used by someone who knows enough about the Windows Registry to be messing around there! I'm not responsible for the misuse of the following...

    With BricsCAD closed, I took the plunge and went into the registry. HKEY_Current_User\Software\Bricsys\Bricscad\V12\en_US\Profiles\Default\Toolbars has a key COMMANDLINE that had some unusual values. This user was using the "default" profile. I restored the key's value to "show bottom 0 0 1924 100" and restarted BricsCAD. All back to normal.
