2022 Ribbon Annotate Panel missing items

[fkellogg]

I just updated from AutoCAD 2020 to 2022.

I keep my Ribbon on, with the Annotate Tab visible.

The Dimensions and Leaders tabs are missing dropdowns where one can select current dimstyle, leader style, layer, etc.

See attached image.

Is there a simple way to get the 2020 version into my 2022 version, without messing things up?

I despise the CUI, for its completely daunting complexity. I know I would not have put those dropdowns there myself.

Can I simply Transfer the 2020 ribbon to my 2022?

Was there a reason for 2022 not having them?

Hi,

Right click on the ribbon as shown image below ( red star ) then select Show Panels and tick your needed items .

All Panels are checked.
Both 2020 version & 2022 version.

I manually copied the ALL of the .cuix files from the 2020 Support folder to the 2022 Support folder (after backing up the existing .cuix files). Seemed more direct than using the CUI.

There is no change - missing drop-downs still missing.

Did Autodesk remove these features?

Original .cuix's back in place.

I had already used the Migrate Settings Utility when I upgraded from 2020 to 2022.

Did no one else have this issue of missing drop-downs on the Annotate tab in version 2022?

The only way I achieved an answer to my issue was to file a Customer Support case with Autodesk.
@Anonymous Cocco was assigned to my case, and was a great help in fixing this for me. Kudos to him.
He instructed me to go into Options > Profiles, and switch to <Unnamed profile>.
(I had already tried saving and loading my Profile from version 2020, with no luck; the desired drop-downs were not there in v2022.)
Switching to the unnamed profile did correct the missing drop-downs issue, but of course I had to then reset a bunch of other Preferences and File Paths. Comparing 2020 to 2022 side by side I was able to get most everything back to "norbal" (ancient MAD Magazine reference).
