Hi André -

If you will click on Format -> Options -> Profiles -> Architectural
Desktop -> Set Current -> OK, you will have all of the ADT functionality.

How is that controlled, is it just a case of loading the menus? The reason
I ask is that currently I have profiles for about 4 different autocad addons
(inc ADT) and would prefer to just have one setup.

It is primarily menu's and tool palettes. There are some other minor
differences as well.

I am a student new to ABS and have ABS 2006 installed. I am reading "Mastering Autodesk Architectural Desktop 2006 (Paul Aubin) to get acquainted with ABS Architectural design capabilities. The Palettes-Design palette and tabs are much different in ABS than ADT because of the additional MEP objects/palettes in ABS. Can I change this using your instructions below (Format -> Options -> Profiles -> Architectural Desktop -> Set Current -> OK) to achieve the same GUI as the Paul Aubin text I am following?

Yes Cliff you can change your ABS profile for ADT profile in preferences/profile.

Jorge, Thanks. I tried it last night and I now have ADT as my current profile. I can now perform the training exercises just as they are outlined in my text. Thanks again.
