Express toolbars gone missing in AutoCAD 2008

[ntormey]

Hi All,
Just a quick question or two in relation to express toolbars in '2008'.....
I just installed the product but cant seem to bring up the express menus...
Where are they?
Are they in this version?

I would be delighted if some one could get back to me in relation to this....

Many thanks in advance...

You have to choose them in the setup before install. If you did that, you should be able to type expresstools on the command line, and the dropdown menu should load.

Hey dzatto,
Thanks very much for replying......
I went into the control panel in Windows and change the program settings....
I just click the box for express tools and they loaded in correctly....


Have a nice day...

I agree. Why have to tell it to load these tools?

The express tools haven't been upgraded or revised in some time. (With the exception of the tools that were incorporated into the program in previous versions.)

So Autodesk doesn't treat them as a regular part of the program. It's strictly an add-on.

I'll have to check that out at work tomorrow, but nothing off the top of my head.
BTW, nice sig.
