shleee Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Like me, you guys installed AutoCAD 2010 MEP and descoverd there is no way to switch the layout to classic mode. In 2009 the cog at the botom right of the screen gives you a list of workspaces and AutoCAD Clasic sets it back to pre 09 workspace layout and gets rid of the ribbon hawlicks and shows the menu bar. I looked through this forum and others and did not come across a working solution to this problem (without downloading somthing) but hav figured it out myself. OK I posted this before reading the forum all the way through oops lol What you need to do is... Make sure the AutoCAD 2010 MEP dvd is in the drive goto... Control panel - Add/remove programs (programs and features) - AutoCAD 2010 MEP - Change/Remove When setup is loaded click on 'Add or remove features' Make sure everything is installed then... Load AutoCAD click on the little 'A' in the top left and goto 'options' at the bottom. Goto the profiles tab and double click on Autocad. Then click on the little cog in the bottom right of the screen and AutoCAD Clasic should be in the options. Thats how I fixed it anyway. Please let me know if this worked for you.

Cadax Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 I recently received a new system and with it I was given AutoCAD MEP 2011. I personally do not like the ribbon at all and prefer to use the classic mode. I used the method provided in a previous post by going to options and switching to 'Autocad' under profiles, then switched my workspace to 'Autocad Classic'. I set everything up the way I like it and saved the workspace, but now when I close autocad and re-open it later in the day it defaults back to 'AutoCAD MEP (Global)' under the profiles tab in options. I then have to repeat the profile/workspace change to get back to classic mode. Is there something I'm doing incorrectly, perhaps missing a 'set to default' somewhere. Any help is greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tzframpton Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 http://docs.autodesk.com/ACD/2010/ENU/AutoCAD%202010%20User%20Documentation/index.html?url=WS1a9193826455f5ffa23ce210c4a30acaf-79ba.htm,topicNumber=d0e13462 Look under the /w option. That way you can default the workspace you want when you open the application. Executing the application by simply double-clicking a DWG file might not yield the same results. Test and see. Hope this helps ya. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dumfatnhappy Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 save your .cui file from a previous version of acad (that has tool bars) then type CUI at the command prompt. go to the transfer tab at the top. In the right side panel go to the open folder and find your older .cui file then drag and drop away.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
