Unnecessary screen area.

Happy new year.

How can I delete unnecessary screen areas within an Ironcad screen?

Thanks.

Reset the IronCAD UI.

Close IronCAD
Go to C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\IronCAD\IRONCAD\25.0\en-us\Customization
Delete the XML files there

With version 2023 there's a new option to do this more easily.

Right click in the top right "empty" area of the UI and choose Reset UI.

This will remove those XML files automatically when you close IRONCAD. The XML files are restored when you run and then close IRONCAD again the next time (saving the state of the UI when the last open file is closed).

Here is another way to find the path to the XML files, using a "general directory shortcut" that works for anyone exactly as it is (no need of the exact path). Just copy and paste into the address bar of the File Explorer or use the Run command:

%appdata%\IronCAD\IRONCAD\25.0\en-us\Customization

Other useful directory shortcuts;

%localappdata%\IronCAD\IRONCAD\ - where the Cosmetic Thread data table and Sheet Metal Stock and Tool table files are stored but also the XML files that stores the shortcut keys (which you can actually manually manage (restore with a new version), if you know how to read and manage XML files, but please handle these files with care).

%public%\Documents\ - where the IC Mech add-on stores tables and other data for the standard components. This could also be a useful place to store IRONCAD-files, if you are more than one user sharing the same computer. It can also be a "general place" to store files like IRONCAD catalogs (*.icc), backup copies of drawing templates (*.icd or *.exb), license documentation (*.pdf) and other useful stuff that doesn't have to be unique to a certain version. Unless you simply want to use your default %userprofile%\Documents\ folder
