I need to widen the Status Panel and Types width so I can see all the text. Can someone remind me how to do that?

never mind, found setting in Prog Pref.

Somehow all my settings got reset to defaults.

Hi Roger,

In the DcadWin.ini file, look at the

[StatusArea]
...
DropDownWidth=XX

Use a number in place of the XX to add that number of pixels to increase the width of this. In my case, I have it 60 pixels wider.

If your menu is not wide enough, then you will need a larger menu font, and/or adding width to the menu buttons.

Thanks Neil.
I also found that setting is available under Prog Preferences, Toolbar tab, bottom left. There you can set it and apply to see the results immediately.
