Missing tools in AutoCAD Map 3D 2024

[helf0023]

I am looking for the Measure tools. It appears that they are supposed to be under Utilities next to Properties on the Home tab. Utilities is missing and when I tried to add it I found that all available options are displayed in my ribbon (see screenshot). Where can I find the Measure tools in this version of AutoCAD?Available panels don't include UtilitiesNo Utilities or Measure tools available

I'm curious why you went to such extremes with your screenshots to avoid and never show the full program window and title @helf0023

something like this would tell us everything we need to know to help you

So here start the guesses:

1) You only installed this program

but not this one

Please confirm when you get a chance.

I'm curious why you couldn't have said something like, "Can you please take
a screenshot of the whole window of the program?" That would have been a
kind way to say the same thing you just said - I was nervous about posting
on a forum because I have seen how condescending folks can be which can be
a huge barrier for access and you just confirmed that for me. To answer
your question, I did not install the program, my IT department did and I
have no admin access to configure the program. Additionally, I don't
actually think you need to see the whole program window in order to answer
the question. But in case that may help others, I will add it regardless.

Hi @helf0023 

If you want the UTILITES Panel in the Ribbon, you'll need to change the Workspace to Drafting & Annotation. Otherwise, you can manually enter a specific Utility command on the Command Line. e.g. MEASUREGEOM.

You can also use WSSETTINGS to switch from the current WS to another workspace.

Nothing attached: you'll need to come to the website to include images and files.

To add to the tip above, change here

Ask your IT to fix it, or did you exhaust that option already? it appears you are not running the software you need. Share my previous reply with them.

You read too much into my factual observant-of-your-post reply: I apologize if that is the case.

You originally posted in the plain AutoCAD forum, not this MAP specific one: I moved it for you to get more focused attention.

Awesome, thank you for your help!
