No “Insert” tab on 2021

Anonymous — Fri, 17 Apr 2020 15:46:50 GMT

I have just come back to using auto cad after many years and have got the trial Autocad electrical 2021 version to give it a go.

There does not appear to be an “insert” tab on the top like previous versions?

looking at it I think it’s going to take a while to get to grips with this newer version.

Thanks

It has been so long since I used the dropdown Menus....

The Ribbon has the "Insert Components" under the "Schematic" tab at the top.

From here you can select "Icon Menu" to access the symbols library.

This is from ACE 2020 but should be the same for you.

Thanks for the reply, I was looking for the insertion option for images/logo etc, for example loading in a jpeg file?

I know what you are looking for now.

Unfortunately, I am unable to create a screenshot.

If you right-mouse-click on any of the tabs, the tabs control menu appears and "Show Tabs" is the third item. Click on this and all the other AutoCAD tabs are available. I usually turn Annotate on since I use it for panels.
