Hello,
I have Windows 11 - 64 bit with QCAD 3.27.6.
The toolbar icon was an arrow. When a command was selected, the icon expanded offering choices that pertains to the selection. For example, a specific length could be given to a vertical line.
I would appreciate any guidance.
Thank you,
SusanEBB

Re: Lost a Toolbar
Hello SusanEBB - welcome to the QCAD forum.
Please double check below Menu/View/Toolbars and Widgets/Toolbars/ whether "Options" is ticked.
Anyway - using a tool which requires an option input will automatically launch that bar.

Re: Lost a Toolbar
SusanEBB,
This might help when the toolbar is really 'lost':
https://www.qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic. ... set#p36191
Instead of a full hard reset there is also a gentle reset method for only the appearance of the Widgets:
In the QCAD.ini/conf remove the line DockappWindows under the header [Appearance].

Re: Lost a Toolbar
It is also possible that the toolbar is still visible but has been reduced in size in such a way that its contents is no longer accessible. A screenshot might help for us to pinpoint the problem.
Re: Lost a Toolbar
Thanks for the welcome!
I appreciate your prompt responses to my problem, and I have followed your suggestions to no avail.
I have also attached a screenshot. As you can see, I have my file on 'print preview', but the options toolbar is not visibly obvious.

Re: Lost a Toolbar
Thanks for the screenshot. Is your screen so wide or is that from a multi screen arrangement?
In any case, I suspect that the options toolbar might be floating about somewhere, perhaps even partially or entirely off the visible screen.
I'd suggest to bring it to a fixed location as follows
- Misc > Development > Script Shell
- Click the Show ECMAScript Shell button
This presents a small programming box at the right of your application window.
Copy / paste this code snipped into the command line at the bottom of that window and hit enter:
Hopefully, this will move the options toolbar to the position 200,200 on your screen so you can move it around using your mouse again.

@ SusanEBB
Do you backup your system on a regular schedule? If so try to recall when QCAD was working properly and use that info to restore the qcad3.ini.

Re: Lost a Toolbar
Thank you!!! Problem solved.
The Script Shell procedure brought the toolbar forward, so I have saved this solution for the future.

Have a wonderful day,
