Express Tools not showing in menu or palettes

[Brian C]

I have recently installed AutoCAD 2016 Desktop Subscription and included the Express tools. They are installed and work, but they do not show in the drop menu or palettes. I ran EXPRESSMENU and EXPRESSTOOLS and they still do not show.

What am I forgetting :?:

Edit:

The links in Resolving common issues / problems relating to Express Tools on the FAQ pages no longer work

Haven't installed 2016 yet, but have you tried adding the Express Tools Menu and Ribbon Tab to a workspace? Was EXPRESS added to Partial Customization Files?

[Brian C]

I have not done so Tom, because I cannot find a CUI menu that seems to be for the Express Tools in the Support directory. There is no Express in the Partial Customization files.

acetmain.cuix should be the name of the CUI (AutoCad Express Tools acronym I'm guessing) in the Support directory.

Thanks Tom. I see that Acetmain.cuix is what I had in AutoCAD 2010, but there is no Acetmain in my 2016 support directory.

There should be a copy of original Support files in the UserDataCache folder should be located at:
C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2016\UserDataCache\Support

I resolved the Express tools problem. I went to Windows control panel > Programs and features and selected AutoCad 2016 and clicked add/remove features. I removed Express Tools, then added them again. I loaded the Express menu Acetmain.cuix (which finally showed up in support) through CUILOAD, and yeah, the menu and ribbon tab showed up. :)

Thanks for your help Tom.
