Hello,
Please could somebody assist me in changing my current "Ribbon" arrangement to the "Classic view". I have reviewed a number of discussions on this and other forums and it all seems quite bitty and hoped there was now an agreed and defined way of doing this if not an instruction document by now.
I have recently done a complete systems re-install and no longer have AutoCAD Architecture 2009 to migrate too and I am not keen on reloading 2009 and migrating again, as I think this was the cause of problems that lead to a complete systems re-install in the first place.
I do not have the option in our "Work space" to select "classic view" nor do I in the options under "Profiles".
Please help!
Thank you
Lee
Solved! Go to Solution.
Solved by sgrinavi. Go to Solution.
See attached, works for me.
I didn't create it, so I can't take credit or offer support
I have not try to install autocadarchitecture_MenusToolbars.zip 748 K
in ACA2011, but I'm afraid they will not work because they have been developed for ACA2010.
Anyway, ARCHIdigm has the solution. It is called PowerSTRIP 11.0.
Hi Sgrinavi,
Thank you for your post with attachment and also taking the time to respond. You are a hero.
IT WORKED FOR ME TOO!
I believe many users with the same problem will use this forum string to sort out the same issue and like you even though the attachment was for ACAD-2010 it has worked for on my ACAD-2011. Once I had my "classic view" tool bars up and running I was able to tweak them by adding and removing commands via the good old way of dragging and dropping wanted and unwanted commands between the tool bar and commands list (Customize User Interface).
A few notes to all other readers of this forum string :
"I have not try to install autocadarchitecture_MenusToolbars.zip 748 K

You might try it before making a statement like that. As I stated it works fine for me.
Hi Sgrinavi
If you read my post carefully, you will notice that I wrote "I'm afraid they will not work because they have been developed for ACA2010". I didn't say it doesn't work. Anyway, knowing that it works fine for you makes me think that ACA2011 commands are not different from those we fined in ACA2010 or, in other words, ACA2011 has nothing new that justifies the upgrade.

O excuse me, when you offered up the alternative link as THE solution it appeared you were dismissing the known working solution. I was just wondering, are you associated with that link you gave?
The answer is YES, I am associated with all the links that work to preserve AutoCAD Architecture, as you can check visiting my blog:

Unfortunately, the Autodesk official blog "Between the Walls" is completely outdated, because they are not investing or promoting ADT anymore:

I think Pedro meant to nicely say the following (as well as try to sell you something):
Many have successfully installed and used that zip file content in ACA2011 and ACA2010: just be careful no content new to ACA2011 is lost to an ACA 2010-only add-on.
Dean,
Pedro...
You state >>>> If you read my post carefully, you will notice that I wrote "I'm afraid they will not work because they have been developed for ACA2010". I didn't say it doesn't work.
You are saying that it doesnt work!!!!!! Maybe next time... reread what you write.
If you teach and write books, I hope someone has checked your work and I hope the students were not confused.
The menu solution works!!!!!
Pedro is not a native english speaker so I think he was saying that he fears they may not work, not 'they will not work.
He had not tested it in 11 (and says so) and was suggesting it as a possible solution to try, but it may not work. If you read his statement again it's one of those subtle expressions that can be taken both ways and that may have not be obvious to Pedro. Pedro has faithfully worked hard to support the ADT/ACA community and doesn't really deserved to be attacked for grammar.
Hi there
I downloaded the link and it worked, however there was no menu bar.
Furthermore this only worked for one day. I shut my machine and the next day rebooted the machine and autocad to find only the ET: standards toolbar and all other toolbars missing.
