"File" pulldown gone from menu

Does anyone know how to restore the "File" pulldown on this menu?  I tried loading the default workspace, but it is still missing.

 

Thanks!

CUI command
Select your active workspace name
On the adjacent right-side pane, click the button CUSTOMIZE WORKSPACE, then expand the MENUS section in that right-side pane.
Expand the MENUS section in the adjacent left-side pane.

There needs to be a checkmark next to every menu on the left to see it on the right.

Then close out of CUI correctly (DONE button then APPLY button then OK button0.

Don't forget to manually save your active workspace with WSSAVE command if you want to be in control 100% of the time.

"File" does not show up in the CUI Customizer. That is also the problem I ran into here.

Then there is nothing to put back, it's gone for good.

 

Which CUI file is your primary? Which others are loaded? You did not show it here

Share a screenshot of your AutoCAD's ABOUT command pop-up please.

I am not sure what you mean. The workspace listed "...(current)" is the one I typically use.

 

I also noticed that the "File" menu is there before opening a drawing, but disappears once the drawing is open.

Sadly, not quite what I noted for you to provide : see image in my last reply, I'm pointing at a pulldown about customization files names, aka more information that what is shown.

You seem to have "autotable", the rest of us have "ACAD", so you're not quite where the rest of us are at, you have a primary CUIx file in control that is unique to your setup.

I figured it out.  AutoTable hosed up my menus. Had to unload all menus from CUILOAD window and then reinstall AutoTable, then reload all menus through CUILOAD.  Not sure exactly what caused the problem, but it just happened one day out of the blue.  Never liked AutoTable anyway....
