Symbol Builder Attribute Editor pallet

How do you turn on the Symbol Builder Attribute Editor pallet?  I turned this off by mistake.

There is a button to turn it on, placed on the Symbol Builder tab in the ribbon. This ribbon is only available when the symbol builder/block editor is active.

I have four panels in my ribbon.  Done, Symbol Audit Palette Visability Toggle, Symbol Builder Help and Close Block Edtior. I don't see a button, can you help a little more?

Message 4 of 14

The Palette Visibility Toggle button on the Symbol Builder ribbon tab turns the palette off and on. I've attached an image showing the button.

I have this same issue, but I do not have the Symbol Builder ribbon tab.

 

AutoCAD 2017

 

See attached screen snip.

The Symbol Builder ribbon tab only appears when you run the Symbol Build command; Schematic tab > Other Tools panel > Symbol Builder. Are you in the Symbol Builder command and you still don't see the ribbon?

I just have the regular menus, nothing related to Electrical.

LAYERS, ANNOTATION, DRAW, MODIFY, BLOCK, PROPERTIES, ETC.

How do i get the other menus?  The goal is to get to the Symbol Builder.

 

Thx,

Craig

Hi Craig,

 

Assuming you are running AutoCAD Electrical and not just plain AutoCAD, the first thing to try is changing to the default AutoCAD Electrical workspace. This should bring up the ribbon with the electrical tabs along with some general AutoCAD tabs.

 

Look in the lower right corner and select what I am showing in this image to change to this workspace.

Symbol Builder is on the Schematic tab > Other Tools panel.

There are three separate problems in this thread. Which one is the same problems as you have?
Did you try to change the workspace?
Have you tried reset to default? https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/autocad/learn-explore/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/How-to-r...
