Missing "Ribbon Combo Box - Workspace"

[clindner]

I am unable to find the "Ribbon Combo Box - Workspace" to our 2013 MEP or ACA CUI. It is visible in vanilla AutoCAD 2013, but it isn't listed in the Command List (under Ribbon Control Elements). I am unable to transfer it from AutoCAD's cuix either. We typically have this control in our Quick Access Toolbar, but I am unable to create this same environment in the 2013 verticals.

I am unable to see it even using one of the default profiles, like "AutoCAD Architecture (US Imperial)".

Any assistance would be appreciated.

I believe they removed it.  The workspace controls are now on the status line where they belong.  You can add a workspace command to the quick access toolbar but not the combo.

I believe this was a design change but if you consider it a bug, then report it.

If you really liked the combo, there is a workaround to mimic the functionality.  Make a new command for each one of your workspaces to switch that particular workspace.  The macro for the command should be like this:

^C^Cworkspace;setcurrent;<yourworkspacenamehere>;

4 workspaces = 4 commands.  Then right-click on your quick access toolbar and add a dropdown.  Add all of your newly created workspace commands to the dropdown.  Underneath those commands add a separator and the "Save Current As...", "Workspace Settings", and "Customize" commands.  HTH
