AEC Content Tab Missing

[Anonymous]

I am using AutoCAD 2022, I have tried all suggestions on how to get the AEC content tab to appear in my design center to add more content to my palette but no luck. Does someone else have a suggestion other than what AutoCAD help center has offered?

There is no such thing in Plain AutoCAD 2022, you forgot to install AUTOCADARCHITECTURE2022 which is a separate program and installation perhaps?

Get the correct software from your Accounts Page

Thank you for the response. I was not told when I bought this subscription that I needed to download a specific autocad.

Did you actually talk to a sales person or a reseller or an adviser who understands the software? All the good ones explain the following:

When any of us currently subscribe to AutoCAD, we all get other variants of the program that are different programs for free, think of is as a free bundle:
ARCHITECTURE, MEP, MECHANICAL, MAP3D, ELECTRICAL, PLANT3D plus the add-on RASTER DESIGN

There never has been and there will never be one single install of AutoCAD that magically switches between all of those variants, the program would cease to function on normal computers and would be impossible to use.

Now you know what "included toolsets" really mean from Autodesk, we've all known for a few years now, it's how it has worked for some time now.

Good luck.

Thank you for your help.  I haven't had to buy my own license for years so wasn't aware of the changes. 

Best regards,
