Inventor and Autocad 2014

[stephen_inventor]

Hi,

I have installed Inventor 2014 and autocad, but when I run autocad it opens fine but nothing in the toolbars work.

It's been reinstalled now a few times but still same issue, am I missing something. Same issue running in compatability mode, I'm on win7 64 bit. Everything else I installed with Inventor works fine.

I have tried switching to classic menu but it just waves good bye when I do that..

Thanks Stephen

As you know, AutoCAD 20014 is not in the Inventor Suite boundle. so this issue should be connected with AutoCAD 2014 itself.

Have you logged into Autodesk 360? If yes, please Sign out to check this issue still exist. If not, could you go to Windows Programs > Autodesk > AutoCAD 2014 - English > Reset settings to Default to check issue could be solved.

If you want to let the toolbar be shown, please use command CUILOAD to load ACAD.CUIX from C:\Users\<User Account>\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2014\R19.1\enu\Support.

Wish these suggestion could solve your issue.

Hi,

Thanks for this, I logged into 360 and then reset the settings as described and it now works.

Have a good weekend,

Hi Yong,

As it turned out this only solved the isue until the program was restarted.

I hope the link to the thread below works ok for anyone ho needs it but this was the cause of my problem as well. My thinkpad run's 2 video cards and if I set autocad mechanical to use the integrated graphics card instead of the nvidia it works fine. I'm only using it to check dxf files so I'm not using it for anything heavy. Other option is to change the card driver.
