Customization for AutoCAD Architecture for 2011

[addesigns]

I am wondering how I can change my menu on top so I have a drop down menu and not the big blocky ribbon bar. I have done it in the past but cant remember what I did. I want to have file, edit, view, ie... and not the standard default look.

If memory serves, Architecture supports LISP...

 

Give this a try:

 

(if (/= 1 (getvar 'menubar))
 (setvar 'menubar 1))
(command "._ribbonclose")

Not sure why use lisp, why not just "ribbonclose" you may then need to pick the little down arrow on the top of the screen to turn your normal menu's on "show menu bar" then just resave your workspace so this is current setting for future use.

 

Annoying bug is if you use menuload the ribbon auto appears if previously turned off.
