2009 ribbon install problem

Hi,

I recently upgraded from AutoCad map3d 2006 to Map 3d 2009.

I installed autocad, and everything seemed o.k. While going through online tutorials, I found some buttons were missing (2d/3d at bottom of map screen) after about 2 full days searching the internet to try and figure out how to use my new toy, I decided there may have been a problem with install, and I ran a repair on the program.

AutoCad restarts, completly differently, missing buttons are there. I think previous set-up was more like standard Autocad, and repair gave me the map functions I was missing.

I seem to have a problem with the ribbon now though. I have gone to cui file, and created new setup with some ribbon options on. They are checked, all is ok. But no ribbon is displayed on screen. I have just finished running re-install on program, no luck. Am about to re-do service pack updates, and just wanted to throw my problem out there for some help.........

HI i have had the same problem this morning, i went into repair and all seems well apart from i have to choose all the ribbons as none are showing... I didnt have this problem on other computers in the office just this one

Hi,

I recived a very delayed message from Acad help a few days ago, as they had been delayed due to holidays.

They told me to unistall microsoft .net framework 3 (something like that I'm not at work today, and don't have access to work emails) then reinstall & to install windows updates.

Tech said he thought it was a corrupt install though & I would probably need to run uninstall & install again.

I ran .net install + updates as asked, but didn't get a chance to follow up any further.

I have previously uninstalled, installed, repaired etc.. etc.. my Acad programe numerous times now though, and am pretty sure I will need further assistance.

I will hopfully get a chance tomorrow to look at, and will definatly get back here with any solutions. Let me know if you have any.

Hi,

I have resolved my ribbon issue this morning. YIPPY

Something simple of course which makes me feel like a goose, but I can't be expected to be clever & good looking.

Menu - tools - paletts - ribbon (show or hide)

Silly me.

In my defence ribbon was hidden on program install.
