Were you able to solve this? I am having the same issue.

Hi @Anonymous,

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

 Which version of AutoCAD are you using?  If you select the Drafting and Annotation workspace and then click on a Layout tab, the Layout panel should appear at the top right of your Ribbon.

Can you perform these steps and then show me a screen capture of your Ribbon?

Hi @Anonymous,

Did you attach an image? If so, don't do it from email but do it from a web browser.

What OS are you running?

Windows 7 Professional

Are you wanting MODELSPACE layout tools? Those are in the Ribbon under the VIEW Tab in a panel called MODEL VIEWPORTS.

Or are you wanting Paperspace Layout tools? (These only appear when you are actually in a paperspace layout first.

I know. And it is not there either. I'm sending another screenshot.

Hello @Anonymous, 

Please provide a screenshot of what you are missing. 

When in paper space for layout purposes the interface should look like this, select "PAPER": 

What does yours look like?

I don't even have the layouts tab in paper space.

You Ribbon is not expanded: expand it first (small button with arrow in it at the far right after the tab names) hen right-click at an empty spot on the Ribbon and ensure all of your tabs are selected to show.


OR... Since you like to use toolbars, and not the Ribbon, why not turn on the LAYOUTS toolbar and dock it with all the other toolbars.

Here is the screenshot with the ribbon expanded. I use BOTH toolbars and ribbon. Please see the layouts toolbar. It does not have anything other than adding new layout.

What is your RIBBONCONTEXTSELECT system variable set to?

What's under the VIEW tab? I no longer have 2014, your version might be too old for the tips offered here.

This did not help. I do not need to turn the Ribbon on and off. I am looking for a solution to why I do not have the Layout tab on the Ribbon.
