"The ribbon does not have any tabs or panels currently loaded"

[mayur123186]

Hi,

This is Mayur..i am using AutoCAD Mechanical 2010.

When I start AutoCAD  the above mention error appears on the ribbon.
In my pc AutoCAD is installed in Administrator account and i m using it in a guest account.
The error is appering only in my account and not in Administrator account.

My account does not have administrator rights.

Hi Mayur,

Easiest possible solution first, if you expand that button in the lower right with the little gear icon do you have options for Mechanical, Structure, and Mechanical Classic?  If you do, select Mechanical and you should see the ribbon as expected.

If that doesn't fix the problem, type the command CUILOAD at the commandline and see what the list of Loaded Customization Groups says, it should say something like AMACAD, AMPP, AUTODESKSEEK and VAULT (if that's installed).

Does that do it for you?  Even without Admin rights this should work.  If this still doesn't work, did you migrate your settings from an earlier release? 

Thanks,

Hi Chris,

Thanks for Ur reply. In my case i don't see any option like Mechanical, Structural or Mechanical classic in the workspace switching icon.

Also when I run CUILOAD command the list show only VAULT in loaded customization group.

Also i never did any thing like migrate setting from earlier release.

As I already said the AutoCAD is working fine in administrator login. If there is some other solution please tell me.

Thanks and regards,

Mayur

Hi Mayur,

Please try this:

1.  CUIUNLOAD > Select Vault in the list and Unload > Close

2.  CUILOAD > (the list should be completely empty now) > Browse... > This should open to the following folder:

C:\Documents and Settings\<your username>\Application Data\Autodesk\AutoCAD Mechanical 2010\R18.0\enu\Acadm

3.  Select acadm.cuix > Open > Load > Close

4.  Now expand the little gear icon in the lower right and select Mechanical > The ribbon should appear

NOTE: If step 2 doesn't go directly to that folder, you may need to browse to that folder, and if that's the case you may need to turn on "show hidden files/folders" in Windows Explorer to get there.

If this doesn't work or if that folder doesn't exist you may have had a problem with the install.  Even though you don't have Admin rights, you should get these files installed correctly into your profile when you go to launch the product the first time.

Thanks,

Chris

Hi Chris,

As I said solution you suggested worked for me.... But I am facing a new problem,

Now I have to follow the procedure u mentioned everyday to make the ribbon work properly.

Also the Mechanical option that u have mentioned is not appearing in the gear Icon in the bottom right corner.

Is there any permanent solution to this?

Thanks and Regards,

Mayur

What is the answer for getting AutoCAD to peranently remember these settings?  Using Mechanical 2009.

The required settings have stuck, thankfully.

Even three years later, this post just saved my day! I have a program running in AutoCAD to do bridge modelling that suddenly unloaded all Autocad tabs on startup. Using your description, unloading the additional software, reloading all ACAD stuff and then adding the add-in got it all back to normal. Thanks a lot!
