CAD Q&A

AutoCAD Architecture 2010 vs Revit 2010

ACA 2009 "SERVICE PACK 2 ISSUES"

After installing this update you may receive a "Error Code: 3010" message incorrectly claiming that the update failed. You can verify this by viewing installed updates through the Windows control panel.

After you apply this update, you may experience the following ribbon customization-related problems:

1.                          An Incorrect or Missing Ribbon Tab

Known Issue: When you display a ribbon tab from a partial or Enterprise CUI file, on the ribbon, the ribbon tab displays incorrectly or is missing.

Workaround:To correctly display a ribbon tab, recreate the workspace used to display the ribbon tab from scratch. Do not duplicate or attempt to update the workspace. Once you create a new workspace, set the workspace current. The ribbon tab should display correctly.

For a partial CUI file, before you add a ribbon tab to a workspace, use the Customize User Interface (CUI) Editor to change the customization group name of the file. The customization group name is represented by the uppermost node of the tree in the Customization In pane.

2.                          A Blank Image for a Command

Known Issue: On a ribbon panel, the image associated with a command defined in the Command List pane displays as a blank icon.

Workaround: To recreate a ribbon command item on a ribbon panel, delete it. Then, from the Command List pane, add the command to the ribbon panel.

 

 

 

ACAD "Ribbon" error message

Their seems to be quite a few people out in the CAD world that's getting this error message when using ACAD 2009 or higher.

Error Message "The ribbon does not have any tabs or panels currently loaded"

For anyone having this problem.....

right click in the command line area and select options.
select the "profiles" tab
select the "AutoCAD" profile
select the "Set Current" button
select your previous profile or the correct one you really want current and close.
This should reset your profile bringing back your "Ribbon". Try it a few times until it resets.

Note: If you select the "Reset" button, you will reset too many network configuration paths and this will give you a bigger headache than before unless your running a stand alone version of the software.

I hope this helps :-)
