Restoring the Ribbon in AutoCAD 2025

If the ribbon is missing in AutoCAD 2025 or has been closed accidentally, it can be restored quickly through a few straightforward steps. The ribbon is an essential part of the interface, providing easy access to tools and commands.

Method 1: Using the Command Line

1. Activate the Command Line: If your command line is not visible, press Ctrl + 9 on your keyboard to toggle it back on.
2. Enter the Command: Type RIBBON in the command line and press Enter. This command will restore the ribbon to your workspace.

Method 2: Modifying Ribbon Appearance

If the ribbon is minimized and you want to change its appearance for easier use, follow these steps:

1. Locate the Tabs: At the top of the AutoCAD window, you’ll see various tabs.
2. Minimize Options: To display only tab names, click the small arrow button located beside the last tab at the top of the ribbon. This will minimize the ribbon to just show the tab titles.

Method 3: Resetting Ribbon Settings

If the ribbon doesn’t respond to the regular commands, resetting its settings can help.

1. Access Preferences: Click on the “Application Menu,” usually located at the top left of your workspace.
2. Navigate to Preferences: Select “Options” or “Preferences” from the dropdown menu.
3. Reset Application Options: In the Application tab of the Preferences window, click the “Reset Application Options” button. Confirm your selection, and this will return the ribbon to its default configuration.
