Did you try shutting down then restarting AutoCAD?

I'm not familiar with that command. If I thought I had something hidden behind my screen I'd minimize it and take a look.

Hi, Perhaps try opening the CUI editor, then with your current workspace selected in the left pane, click on the + next to Palettes in the right pane. Then select the External References palette, and make sure it is set to show, also set any other properties that are relevant. Perhaps that will allow it to appear. Hope this helps.
Answer found on an other website.... Regards
