If you need to restore a broken acad.cui (and possibly acad.mnr) file in AutoCAD 2009, you can usually find an original version in:

C:\Program Files\AutoCAD 2009\UserDataCache\Support

You can use this to replace the broken file(s), typically located somewhere like this:

C:\Documents and Settings\[user]\Application Data\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2009\R17.2\enu\Support

Obviously, in doing this you will lose all changes you have ever made to your toolbars, etc., so make safe copies of everything first. Once you have a basic working environment you might possibly be able to import some things from the renamed/copied broken file using the CUI command’s Transfer tab.

I am a returning student to Architecture and just got the Educational Version from my schoolbook purchase for AutoCAD2010. The last software I used was AutoCAD 2007 back in high/vocational school. I have time to mess with new features and lay-outs, but the white background was completely unwanted. Thanks for the info on how to change it, now I can experiment and really tune my version to a setting I truly enjoy and will use actively.

Steve, I complement you on your work helping others work efficiently with the newest Autocad versions! My baby was A-CAD 2004 and 2007, now working with A-CAD 2012 and have the screen set up w/ AutoCAD Classic. There is one major problem though- I need to bring up my favorite toolbars, such as Object Snap, Solids, Inquiry , and ET Layers (express tools). I pray there is a way to do this, because I used to simply go to View, Toolbars, then check the toolbars I wanted to display- this has also now changed. Any help would be truly appreciated!

Carlos, what exactly is missing? It may be that the drawing contains proxy objects. These could be new object types from later releases, or special objects created in vertical variants of AutoCAD. You can install object enablers for some of these objects, which you can find at:

I’m currently using ACAD 2009, when someone sends me a CAD file sometimes I have trouble viewing the whole entire drawing. I’ve gone to layers to make sure everything is turned on but still nothing. Can someone let me know if their is a way to view every layer of the file being sent over, or do you thing the file could have been corupted?
(PLEASE ADVISE)

You can go to Options > Display and turn off Display paper background, after which the outside-paper background will be the same as the paper background, whatever you set that to. But if you want them different, I don’t know any way of doing that.

Is there a way to change the color of the background in layouts (I do not mean the paper color but the color around the paper)

I am using Autocadd 2010. If I dimension a length on a viewpoet it reflects the actual dimension in the model space but the same is not true for Area command. How do I fix this problem.

Have you tried entering the CUI command, right-clicking on acad.cui and using the Restore or Reset options?
