Create View Panel Missing

[Anonymous]

It appears that I am missing some panels on the layout tab specifically the create views panel. I am trying to generate drawing views in paper space from a 3D model in model space.  A am using Autocad 2018 mechanical and I am in the drafting & annotation workspace. The only panels I have available are layout & layout viewports. Has anyone else had this problem

Hi @Anonymous,

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

That does look like you are missing a few panels in the ribbon. Often that can be fixed by installing the latest updates for AutoCAD Mechanical. 

For AutoCAD-based vertical products there will be 2 updates to install, one for the vertical installation (in this case Mechanical), and one for core AutoCAD.  Updates are available for Microsoft Windows-based AutoCAD and AutoCAD-based vertical products through your Autodesk Account under the Manage tab, or from the Autodesk Desktop App.

Please try this and let me know the results. If this does not resolve the issue, resetting to defaults or reinstalling AutoCAD Mechanical should.

All the best,

Hi @Anonymous,

I am checking back to see if you were able to install the latest updates and if it fixed the Ribbon.
