Build panel missing from ribbon

Anonymous — Thu, 19 Mar 2020 14:13:12 GMT

I'm using AutoCAD 2018 Student Version and noticed that the build panel is missing. I tried going to options, then profiles but the only thing that shows up is an "unnamed profile". I've read similar posts about this but nothing seems to work. I tried messing with the customization file under options as one user suggested but that completely changed my program so I had to reinstall. Help :0

what product are you using? Student version doesnt change how the software operates, other than you get a water mark when printing a document. There is no Build panel in the vanilla AutoCAD ribbon. I know there is one in the AutoCAD Architecture ribbon, perhaps in the MEP one as well (but I dont know that for sure)

I honestly did not even realize there were different versions of AutoCAD. It's just Autodesk AutoCAD 2018-student verison. I guess I need AutoCAD Architecture so that I can access the build panel but 'm just not sure how to get it. This version was the only download option.

You have to request AutoCAD ARCHITECTURE from the EDU portal, then download/install it once you get the approval.

Ask your teacher about it all.
