Presentation tab is missing

[Anonymous]

Hello.

In the attachment you will see that there is no presentation TAB ... is this new for 2017?

Odd, you should see this:

System spec's would help. You might need to run the Inventor Registry program and make sure that everything installed correctly.

Re-Register Inventor

1. open a command prompt as administrator

2. type :"C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Inventor 2017\Bin\Inventor.exe" /install

3. Wait for about 30 seconds & then retry Inventor

Didn't seem to work.

RMB on the Ribbon Menu, Under the drop down menu for Ribbon Appearance, select the "Reset Ribbon", this will reset the Ribbon Menu.

If Blair's idea doesn't work ..

Try the Inventor reset Utility

https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/inventor-products/troubleshooting/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcartic...

Or a repair install from the Control panel

I have seen this before and these 2 options should resolve it

Also make sure you have all of the updates installed

Didn't work. Thank you for the suggestion.

Those didn't work either. Thank you for the suggestion.
I had the presentation tab but nothing in it. I did another reset and it
returned to having no presentation tab.

I'm starting to think you may need to uninstall Inventor using the Autodesk Uninstall tool from the Start Menu: Start>Autodesk>Uninstall Tool.

Then do a fresh install of Inventor, make sure that you have Administrative Privileges

I reset widows.

Tried to download again got an error - see attachment

I haven't checked since my reset if I have administrator privileges. I will
try to uninstall and reinstall again as you said.

Did you find an answer to the missing Presentation Tab/Ribbon?

Our work systems have all suffered the same issue following a Windows and Autodesk Update overnight. We need to find a solution to the problem and if that could avoid fresh install on the machines that would be preferable as it would mean a lot of downtime for our CAD Engineers.

Thank you to everyone's contributions so far.

Hi,

You may want to check the User Interfaces option and see that the presentation options are checked off.

@mercerc

You have the presentation tab ... 

I have someone who's missing their Presentation and Environment tab ...

Hello,

@Anonymous, @Anonymous, @mdavis22569

Have you ever installed Inventor 2017 Alpha/Beta build and unloaded any addins? The picture Bernard attached probably caused by the unloaded presentation addin. Please run below VBA code to load Presentation addin.

1. Launch Inventor.

2. Alt+F11 to open VBA window.

3. In the Module1, paste below VBA code, and Run.

4. Create a presentation document. If no presentation tab shows restart Inventor and try again, but I assume it's no need to restart. 

Sub LoadPresentation()
    Dim oAddin As ApplicationAddIn
    For Each oAddin In ThisApplication.ApplicationAddIns
        If oAddin.DisplayName = "Presentations" Then
           oAddin.LoadAutomatically = True
           oAddin.Activate
           Exit For
        End If
    Next oAddin
End Sub

Please let me know if it is still not working for you.

Best Regards,

Rachel

Hi @rachel_li

Thanks very much for your answer - this solution worked on all machines used on this morning and saved us a lot of downtime.

Many thanks,

You have replied to an ancient thread.

Are you running Inventor 2017?
