Dynamo Missing from Civil3D 2025

NateSarles

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling 2025 but Dynamo does not appear in the 'Manage' tab of the ribbon. I have also checked the updates, plug-ins, and add-ons on the 'my products' page. Am I just too ambitious to think that the new Dynamo plug-in would be ready this soon after the initial release of 2025? Or is there a glitch causing it to be missing?

 

Is anyone else experiencing this?

I am aware that it is intended to be part of the standard install. I do not see that, no. That is why I created this post.

Did you by chance let it "migrate" your settings, or otherwise end up with a non-C3D 2025 menu file loaded?

Yes, I had installed Civil3d after that update was put out so I assumed that I didn't need to download it, but just to be sure, I just checked...

Would it, by chance, be caused by me still having 2024 installed?

no i have 2024 &  2025 installed but i didn't transfer my setting from 2024

did you go through the link that was provided?

if so you will probably need to uninstall/reinstall 2025 if that didn't work

Can you reload the OOTB C3D.CUIX menu?

OK! I was able to start Dynamo using the "AECCLAUNCHDYNAMO" command, but the panel is just missing from the ribbon. Can I reset JUST the .CUIX menu file without having to uninstall and reinstall?

Migration in Civil 3D is not supported, which is why there is no Migrate dialog when it first opens.  I thought there was a new version of Dynamo, which might be why your ribbon isnt loading correctly.  Within the CUI editor, you can right click on Civil and select to restore C3D.cuix.   This would in theory reset the cui without messing up your profile.  But, if you migrated, it might be best to start fresh with the reset settings to default.

I finally got around to giving a fresh install a chance and that did indeed fix it... Granted I was also having an issue with my parts list that required me to reinstall.

 

I guess manually setting up all my preferences is the best/only way to go...

it may be possible to automate a lot of it, depending on what it is that you use for your preferences. 

I created a package bundle that I can load with each new release, and it brings in all of my settings.  I keep my own separate cuix file, so it isnt migrating anything from within the program, so the only thing it is doing is changing what is present in that version.  It could be worth a look.
