Double Layout tabs with double panels in each tab on Ribbon

[ssantellan]

As the Layout tab on the Ribbon is not listed with the other tabs in my Workspace Contents in the Customize User Interface, I'm confused as to how to eliminate an "extra" Layout tab. To make matters worse, each Layout tab has multiple Layout and Layout Viewports panels. When I uncheck the extra panels they just come back again.

So I'd like to eliminate seeing one of those tabs and fix the content of the remaining tab.

My guess is that you are using a Main (User) Customization File and an Enterprise customization File that both contain the same things.  I typically configure the Enterprise Customization file and create an empty User File.

I would look there first.  Type CUI for Custom User Interface and compare your customization files to make sure they don't double up.

Thank you Homer_Jones. You are correct, and yes the user file is empty. That was what I investigated first, but the Layout tab is not listed in either configuration. You only see the Layout tab when in paperspace which makes it something of a contextual tab, though it is not included within the list of contextual tab states that I can discern. You see from this next screenshot that there isn't any ribbon tabs within the user file and all ribbon tabs within the current workspace are from the enterprise file.

Short of starting over and recreating the enterprise file and empty user file, and I have these files loaded into multiple desktops, I was hoping someone could point me to where I can find these two Layout ribbon tabs so that I can remove the redundant one and fix the remaining one.

Perhaps there is a Partial Customization File loaded in the Enterprise one that contains the duplicates?

I usually start with the Out of the box ACA.cuix file for the Enterprise one and partially load any customizations that I want to make in that.  This file is located on our server in folder that is read only for all users but me.

I push the empty User.cuix file out with a batch file.

Something like this for the default install, you could change it to "if exist" if you want to replace it.

SET ACA2021-FROM="\\UNC_Path_Here"

if not exist "%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\ACA 2021\enu\Support\user.cuix" xcopy "%ACA2021-FROM%\user.cuix" /k/i/h "%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\ACA 2021\enu\Support"
