Design Accelerator grayed out.

I am having a problem with the design accelerator in 2014. The tab is there, but I cannot click any of the buttons to actually insert a frame or design some gears. They are all grayed out. The design Accelerator appears to be loaded in the add-ins screen. I am running Win 7 64 bit. Thanks for any assistance.

I am in the assembly mode. I reopened the assembly and the design stuff showed up this time. Any ideas why it was blocked?

Only thing I can think of is if you were in the assembly, but had a part open for editing.  DA tools won't work in part environment.  Other than that.... not sure why.

Without seeing a screen shot I couldn't say for sure, but if it happens again, check to see if the end of the ribbon has a button titled Load Full. If it does, this means that you opened an assembly with more than 500 unique occurrences (default setting), and it opened in a lightweight mode called Express in which some commands are not available.

 

To enable all commands, click Load Full.

 

Cheers,

Paul
