Can anyone tell me how to disable the start up dialogue box which pops up everytime on starting Nanocad?

Hello.

If you use the nanoCAD 5.0 you cannot hide the startup dialogue box. It's possible only in nanoCAD Plus.

Best regards,

Today I did publish a new project on SourceForge, which aim to get ride of the welcome screen closing it automatically.

My project is a simple "Launcher" which start nanoCAD 5.0 and automatically close the welcome screen.

No installation is required, download, save wherever you like and run it.

You will find it here.

Can I ask you to create a file, but to launch NanoCAD 24?

Hi Olga,
yes, I will.

Unlike nanoCAD 5.0, nanoCAD 24 already close the welcome window and open a new document on startup.

May you have some extra operations while or before nanoCAD 24 start?

Thank you,
For example, ask “close Tool Palette Manager” when starting a program.

Hi Olga,
there are so may way to do that you are asking, trying to keep it simple I'm suggest the follow solution.

Follow these steps...

First you have to export the key/s you would like to delete before nanoCAD start.

You can export all profiles key and all nanoCAD releases keeping all exported keys separately or merged in to a single file .reg

An example of the exported key:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Nanosoft AS\nanoCAD x64\24.0\Profiles\<<Default>>\Startup\ToolPalettes]

Should be modified adding minus before the registry key as shown below
[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Nanosoft AS\nanoCAD x64\24.0\Profiles\<<Default>>\Startup\ToolPalettes]

In the same .reg file you can collect many keys as you like
[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Nanosoft AS\nanoCAD x64\23.0\Profiles\<<Default>>\Startup\ToolPalettes]
[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Nanosoft AS\nanoCAD x64\24.0\Profiles\<<Default>>\Startup\ToolPalettes]

The registry file .reg you did will be used every time you start the follow VBS launcher

Dim nc24,shell
' Remove the registry key using exported file from registry
Set shell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
' change "nc24ToolPalettes.reg" as you like
shell.Run "regedit /s " + shell.CurrentDirectory + "\\nc24ToolPalettes.reg", 0, true
Set shell = nothing
' Start nanoCAD 24.0
Set nc24 = CreateObject("nanoCAD.Application.24.0")
Set nc24 = nothing

I believe this launcher is simple and it's easy to customize, let me know if you have any troubles with it.

Thank you!!
