AutoCAD Electrical 2013 opening as normal AutoCAD?

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I have been using the migration command to copy my autocad electrical 2013 settings to 2015. I opened 2013 to check some profiles but for some reason it has opened as normal Autocad 2013 without any electrical characteristics?

So I don't have a schematics tab etc. Below is what my AutoCAD Electrical 2013 opened as

Any Ideas how I can get it back to electrical?

So strange. Never had this before

regards,

James

This is what my startup screen looks like...

Double check that you are clicking on the right link to start the program.

It's possible you may have clicked on the plain ACAD link instead of the link to start ACADE...

Right-click the shortcut you are using to open ACADE and choose Properties.

It should look similar to this:

"C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2017\acad.exe" /language "en-US" /product "ACADE" /p <<ACADE>>

OPTIONS command
PROFILES tab
double-click on the ACADE profile if there is one, or post a screenshot of that tab here.

Why is there so much willingness to help the OP now, and not 1.5 years ago, when he had the problem?

Erm thanks for the responses guys but as rhesusminus said this was quite a while ago. Has it randomly come up on the forum again?

I ended up fixing this problem by re-installing 2013 but quite some time ago! I have been on 2017 for a long while now so don't have any mroe of the silly bugs that came with 2013!

Thanks anyway. Still not 100% sure if you guys were just messing with me haha

It was just a necropost...someone didn't pay attention to the date on the thread.

That is strange cause it came up in my list of current posts while being marked unread.

Something is going on in the backend of the forum software so I have checked to see if this may have affected the original post.

I will say that this is the first time I can recall actually seeing this post.

Actually...

The same thing happened to me just the other day. But I shrugged it off because the 'new' unread post was one of mine, lol. I thought it was something I'd done somehow. I marked it as read and it went back where it belonged.

So, now I'm wondering if maybe it wasn't me after all...
