Tip for Week 5/22/06

 
if you just installed Autodesk Map 3D 2006 and find the application window looking very different and want to change the look back to the way the 2005 version looked, there are two steps to take.

First, type in MAPSKINMAP at the command line.  This is a system variable that will change the silver and white look back to one that uses your Windows settings.

Second, go to the View file menu pull-down, expand the Menu/Toolbar Layout cascade and then choose Map Classic to get your old set of pull-down menu's back.
