Hi Everyone,

I'm hoping someone can help me trouble shoot this because at the momment draftsight is the only 2D software I have available to me in the office.

This morning I was working on Draftsight and it was functioning just fine. No glitches or problems. I worked on a different task for about 45 min. and I cam back to Draftsight again and I discovered that I had no toolbars, no menu bar, nothing. No, it is not just in fullscreen mode either. I see no decernable way to get the menu bar or tool bars active again. Right clicking in the normal menu bar space only brings up a check box list for: Properties, Command Window, Options Toolbar, Tool Matrix, References, Lighting, Home. None of which really help me because these are useless without a means to interact with the drawing. In short, it seems like I'm in a "Preview Mode" of some sort where it's just showing the drawing without any interface. Normally with most programs there's a shortcut key to get your menus back though!

I have rebooted my machine multiple times, and I have even gone as far as to unintall Draftsight, reboot, and reinstall again with no luck.

My only guess is that I hit the magic combination of shortcut keeps that hid everything?

Anyone have any ideas for fixing this?
