    Unhappy Restoring original palette

    I accidentally deleted one of the tabs on the palette and can't find where to get it back. I even reinstalled Cad and the electrical blocks tab is still missing. Is there a way to restore the original palette?

    Find the folder where all your palettes are stored, (usually found in the Documents and settingsuserApplication DataAutodeskAutCAD 20XXversionenusupporttoolpalette folder), after you have found this folder, check to see if your toolpalette is still in there. If it is not you'll have to make a new one, and remember to create a backup of your toolpalettes in a separate folder!

    If you have a backup somewhere else, just place that toolpalette file back into the toolpalette folder. The toolpalette images are in a separate folder named images, it is found in the toolpalette folder; you'll see it.

    Try reloading the stock profile that comes with acad.

    I don't have acad electrical, but if it's a vertical like architectural desktop, then I would imagine you would have a Content Browser too, from which you can restore your stock tool palettes.
