[fprico]

Hi, I have recently download Autocad 2016, but the layout tools for creating 2d views is missing.

Hello @fprico,

Welcome. 

It seems like you may just need to add it. You can add the view panel by right-clicking on the empty space to the right and selecting "Show Panel" > "Views" 

Keep us posted on the progress.

Hello,

Thanks, I attached an image to see what is missing.

You have to be in a layout tab in order to see that tab.

Hello @fprico,

I have an article here that shows how to Add a new toolbar button. I just went through it now myself. Navigate to the top of the toolbar on the "Manage" tab click "CUI" icon search & drag the "Layout" to the "Quick Toolbar" in the top section. It should appear after you close out the window. 

Hope this helped. I will move this over to the AutoCAD 2017 forum for more input.

I could not find that, could you post an image?.

Hello @fprico,

Sure, here you go.

Hi @fprico,

Try typing in CUI, select Layouts from the Toolbars category and on the right select Add to workspaces in the Default Display

Please select the Accept as Solution button if my post solves your issue or answers your question.

I just change to "add to workspace" and it doesnt show it, the version Autocad LT 2016.

Hi @fprico

Did you also click on a layout tab first? You have to be in an existing layout in order to see it at the top of your screen.

[fprico]

Hi, yes this is how it looks.

Hi,

Try to move the file to the ribbon tab (not in toolbar) in the CUI and then check if the tools are there.

Thanks & Best Regards

Right-click in that red-zone: are all the panels turned on?

If not, it's time to reset autocad https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/autocad/troubleshooting/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/How-to...

Hi, just reset setting to default and nothing. The show panels looks differnt.

HI @fprico,

Can you use the Windows Snipping Tool to try and capture what that Show Panels looks like?

It might be worth Resetting your CUI as well per the instructions in this article.

Hi @Anonymous,

I see that you are visiting as a new member to the AutoCAD forum. Welcome to the Autodesk Community!

 Do you see the Layout tab if you click onto a layout (paperspace)?

[dehodges]

How did this not get resolved.  I have the exact same issue and I cannot find a solution anywhere.  I can't add a legend, scale, north arrow, or anything.  Where are all of the Layout tools??

[pendean]

Did you do as asked in the post you are replying to?

If yes, are you sure you actually are in a layout?

what does ABOUT command say about your version?
