TASKBAR (Command)

Controls the Peek/Preview behavior of the application's button in the Windows taskbar when multiple drawings are open.

Note: Windows provides a setting to combine the taskbar buttons of multiple instances of the same program running. When taskbar buttons are combined, the combined button displays previews based on each instance of the program and the current AutoCAD taskbar setting of those programs. For example, if the AutoCAD taskbar setting is set to 0 and two instances of AutoCAD are running, you will see two previews regardless of how many drawings are open in each instance.

The following prompt is displayed.

Enter new value for Taskbar

Specifies how the Peek/Preview behaves for each instance of the program running.

  • 0 - Peek/Preview is only enabled for the current drawing in the program.
  • 1 - Peek/Preview is enabled for all open drawings in the program.
