There is very little 'classic' content in modern ARCHITECTURE variants to do that quickly anymore. sorry.

You are welcome to spend a month or two creating your own master 'classic' menu file of course, with pulldown menus and toolbars, CUI command is the place to start. Tutorials are here https://www.cad-notes.com/exploring-autocad-cui-introduction-1/

Welcome to the community!

 

I am afraid that most of us accepted that the ACA interface had moved to the ribbon and learned to use it.  There may be some hold-outs who have migrated their 2009 CUIX from release to release and who may be willing to share.  You will miss out on having commands and features added after that release in the CUIX file, although I suppose you could transfer any you really wanted via the CUI command.

I am confused now as well.  My understanding of "classic workspace" is one where the ribbon is turned off, and the pull-down menus and toolbars are the primary interface elements used for initiating commands.

 

The out-of-the-box ACA.cuix has just the Array Edit toolbar.  In 2010, they removed all the toolbars, but Array Edit was added to AutoCAD afterwards and made its way into the ACA.cuix as well.  If you want toolbars, you will either have to transfer them from ACAD.cuix (for vanilla AutoCAD commands) or create your own (for AutoCAD Architecture commands).  The ACA development team made a conscious decision to focus on the newly added, more modern ribbon, rather than trying to maintain support for ribbon and toolbars.

 

So are you trying to create a "classic" pull-downs and toolbars interface, or something else?

Hi @lpalshan710,


When AutoCAD Architecture 2020 was released, I explained how to work with AutoCAD Architecture as AutoCAD. I also explained how to create a classic AutoCAD workspace with AutoCAD Architecture. However, if you work with AutoCAD Architecture as AutoCAD, using the ribbon or the classic toolbars, you won't be able to work with AEC objects.

In the video I've made, starting at 4'08", you'll see how to create a classic AutoCAD workspace with the classic toolbars in AutoCAD Architecture.
The video is in French, there are no automatic English subtitles. However, I hope you'll be able to understand the explanation.
I'm sorry for my poor English, as I had to use an automatic translator.

Lors de la sortie d'AutoCAD Architecture 2020, j'ai expliqué comment travailler avec AutoCAD Architecture en tant qu'AutoCAD. J'ai également expliqué comment créer un espace de travail AutoCAD classique avec AutoCAD Architecture. Cependant, si vous travaillez avec AutoCAD Architecture en tant qu'AutoCAD, en utilisant le ruban ou les barres d'outils classiques, vous ne pourrez pas travailler avec des objets AEC.

Dans la vidéo que j'ai réalisée, à partir de 4'08", vous verrez comment créer un espace de travail AutoCAD classique avec les barres d'outils classiques dans AutoCAD Architecture.
La vidéo est en français, il n'y a pas de sous-titres automatiques en anglais. Cependant, j'espère que vous pourrez comprendre les explications.
Je suis désolé pour mon mauvais anglais, car j'ai dû utiliser un traducteur automatique.
