Question
New dark UI, Stackable Panels, Copy Guided, Blockify improvements, Dynamic UCS for 2D entities, Parametrize now works for 2D, Blockify now finds and detects. BricsCAD allows designers to automatically create bends and T-connections on moving around connected profiles. The platform offers inbuilt evaluation tools to calculate pressure loss, room book log, heating requirements, temperature drops, and more. BricsCAD can also design 3D ventilation systems for residential buildings.
I would like to autosave my drawings every 'X' minutes.
Answer
Go to Settings > Settings
Under Program Options, Open and Save there are several options to enable auto saving in BricsCAD.
Options
Incremental save backup
Controls the creation of a backup file (BAK). Improves the speed of incremental saves if switched off, especially for large drawings.
Save Percent

Sets the amount of wasted space tolerated in a drawing file expressed as a percentage of the total file size. If the estimate of wasted space exceeds the value set by ISAVEPERCENT, the next save will be a full save, which resets the wasted space estimate to 0. If set to zero, each save is a full save. Values between 0 and 100 are accepted.
Proxy Graphics
Determines whether images of proxy entities are saved in the drawing. If switched off, a bounding box displays instead.
Proxy Notice
Displays a notice when you open a drawing containing custom entities created by an application that is not present.
Proxy Show
Bricscad 20
Determines how proxy entities display in a drawing. Values between 0 and 2 are accepted.
- 0 = Not displayed
- 1 = Graphic images
- 2 = Bounding box
Proxy web search
Bricscad 2020 Crack
Determines whether the program checks for objects enablers:

- 0 = Never
- 1 = If a live Internet connection is present
Save Format
Sets the save format. Values between 1 and 33 are accepted.
Clipboard Format
Sets the clipboard format
Bricscad 2018
Save Time Interval
Sets interval in minutes for automatic saves. If set to zero, automatec saves are turned off. Values between 0 and 240 are accepted.
Bricscad 2016
Enable Macros
Defines whether macros are enabled when loading a VBA project.

That is a kind of head up Display in drawing view.
It appears when you have your Command Line Palette collapsed
and shows what the command line would show.A quick search didn't let me find a Setting to avoid that.
Maybe when you set Command Line Setting to show '0' rows ?
(CLIPROMPTLINES)Edit :
Yes, that seems to work.
You will also no more see Command History in Status Bar,
but when you extend Command Line Palette you can see History
nevertheless.BTW,
I like the HUD Info. Thanks. That makes sense.
I've used BricsCad for over 6 years but this one stumped me. I just installed v20 and didn't want the prompt lines to go away.
Anyway, if I can get them back all will be good. I'll let you know.
Yes. HUD can be good but only if it gives you useful info. What I had was a pain.
Anyway you were dead on right. I found the commands: COMMANDLINEHIDE and its opposite COMMANDLINE.
That fixed my problem. Many thanks.

Yes,
if you want to use the full Command Line,
In case it is collapsed,
just double click inside the left part of the Staus Bar and
Command Line will reappear.
(Showing four Rows of history by default (?))If you don't like CL, collapse it by double clicking in Staus Bar
or from Menu. If you also don't like Command Line's HUD in Drawing View,
appearing automatically when CL collapsed,
Set CLIPROMPTLINES to 0 to make HUD disappear. Thanks. I'm trying to get familiar with v20. I've been using v15 a long time.
I accidently created this question with the default setting of 'Discussion'. I can't mark it as answered the way I should so . . .

An alternative for the default command line might be the new 'mini frame' option when the command line is in floating state (open, but not docked). This is controlled through the CmdLineUseNewFrame user preference. In this new floating state the command line is reduced to only one line, plus a number of history lines set by the CLIPROMPTLINES system variable. Set the number of lines to zero if you don't like the fading prompt history lines. Click the right hand side of the floating command line to see the command history. The floating command line can be placed anywhere, but 'sticks' to the bottom face of the drawing window. The advantage of the single line floating state over the Status bar is, that the command options in the floating state are clickable.
