Modeling tab is missing from AutoCAD LT Mac

groderl · ‎10-21-2022

So for AutoCAD on Mac, on the top left panel it usually says 'Drafting | Modeling'. And this lets you switch between tools for 2D and 3D. My screen only has drafting, where is the modeling tab to access the 3D tools? Losing my mind trying to figure this out.

Hi @groderl ,

Are you using full AutoCAD?

Has this happened since the very first launch of the program?

Can you attach screenshot?

LT users do not get a modeling tab: all part of the lower cost of LT over full AutoCAD.

Basically you are using the incorrect software if you need the modelling tab. This was asked in an earlier reply to you, if you were using full AutoCAD or not.

Full AutoCAD only has what you want: yep, a lot more money per year over your current LT software.
