Does AutoCAD 2022 have the Layout Tool tab?

Go to OP (config)

Tab Display and check the Display File Tabs

Hope this helps.

Click on the blue tab [Layout].

But i thought you can not see the tab, but in your picture we can see the (blue) tab???

Current is START tab, click on LAYOUT.

Or is your question another one?

Were you previously using something like Civil 3D or Map 3D? I don't believe that tab is in plain autocad.

Hi JRR,

I was only using regular AutoCAD. I'm guessing AutoCAD 2022 doesn't have that Layout Tools tab? That was my question to see if it did or not because I was trying to get to the Layout Elements section for the Legend, North Arrow and Scale

See user181 answer

>>"I was only using regular AutoCAD."

No, You didn't use AutoCAD20xx

>>"I'm guessing AutoCAD 2022 doesn't have that Layout Tools tab? "

Yes, and also older version of AutoCAD don't have a "Layout tools" tab.

>>" That was my question to see if it did or not"

Answered and solved.

>>"because I was trying to get to the Layout Elements section for the Legend, North Arrow and Scale"

Not part of Autodesk AutoCAD, install CIVIL3D as in the past

Maybe this is the view your going for? But instead of Hide you would have to say Show.

Also if you want the large ones it is in the Arrow to the right.

I am kind of old school.. I type most commands (acad.lsp) or one click from commands.

Hope this helps.

JRR.

@brian.yamamoto9GKDR OR...
You have to be in a layout first for the Layout tab in the Ribbon to appear: it's ALWAYS been like that, even in R2022.

HTH

for LAYOUT Tab, that is right.

for the LAYOUT TOOLS Tab that is right too,

but this Tab isn't part of AutoCAD (but C3D)
