General discussion about BabaCAD / Re: Can't see main menu
« Last post by babadmin on January 06, 2021, 07:03:01 pm »No more old-style menu (File,Edit...) which can be found on old BabaCAD 32-bit versions before 2017. BabaCAD 64-bit has a modern ribbon-style menu with categories like Home,Insert,Annotation,View,Tools,Lisp. Each category has specific panel groups with icons and commands (Home category is used to be the main drawing menu and it has about 30-40 command buttons/dropdown lists/icons). File open/save and print commands/menu can be accessed from Quick Access Toolbar or clicking on BabaCAD App Icon on the upper-left corner.
If you see BabaCAD looks like in screenshot (BabaCAD Home Edition v2018/v2020) placed at the bottom of the first page on main website (https://www.babacad.com), than that's it. Otherwise, if you see just a few icons like you say, it just can't be (or maybe you mistakenly installed some other software, not BabaCAD).
Also, there is a quick way to start any BabaCAD command by using new dynamic-input with auto-complete feature. Just start to type command while you have mouse cursor in the workspace. List of BabaCAD commands (starting with the letter you just typed) will appear and you can select the command by pressing down/up arrow keys or press 'Enter' to choose highlighted command from the list.
There are few settings (Object Snap, Tracking lines On/Off, Model/Layout switching, Dynamic-input and grid On/Off) which can be found at the bottom of the BabaCAD application window (orange toggle buttons and OSnap popup button with click on down-arrow).
