How To Restore Ribbon In AutoCAD 2015?

Steps to Restore the Ribbon in AutoCAD 2015

To effectively restore the ribbon that may have disappeared in AutoCAD 2015, follow these carefully outlined steps.

Step 1: Open the Command Line

Begin by ensuring the command line is visible. If it’s not displayed, press Ctrl + 9 to toggle its visibility. This will help you input commands effectively.

Step 2: Enter the RIBBON Command

Type RIBBON directly into the command line. Then press Enter. This command is the primary function for showing or hiding the ribbon interface in AutoCAD.

Step 3: Adjust Ribbon View

If the ribbon still doesn’t appear as expected, check the view mode of the ribbon. Look for the small cycle button positioned to the right of the ribbon tabs. Click this button to cycle through various display settings and ensure the ribbon panels are visible.

Step 4: Reset User Interface (if required)

If the ribbon persists in remaining absent, consider resetting your workspace. Type CUI (Customize User Interface) in the command line and press Enter. This opens the customization dialog.

1. In the dialog, locate the Workspaces section.
2. Find your current workspace and select it.
3. Click on the Reset button to impose default settings. This can often resolve lingering interface issues.
4. Click OK to apply these changes.

Step 5: Restart AutoCAD

If the ribbon still does not appear after the previous steps, save any work and restart AutoCAD. Sometimes, a fresh start can clear up interface problems.

Alternative Options for Toolbars and Customization

If you prefer to use toolbars instead of the ribbon, or you wish to customize your workspace visually:

Option 1: Display Toolbars

1. Click on the Tools menu located at the top of the application window.
2. Navigate to Toolbars and select AutoCAD from the list.
3. Choose a toolbar to make it visible and drag it to your preferred location on the screen (left or right dock).

Option 2: Switch to Classic Mode

For those who prefer the older, classic interface, switching modes can be beneficial:

1. Enter -TOOLBAR in the command line and press Enter.
2. Type Standard and hit Enter twice. This should display the classic interface beneath the ribbon, if it’s active.
