The ribbon is the central location for accessing commands in AutoCAD MEP 2025 toolset. The ribbon is organized into tabs that reflect common tasks in the drawing process. There are 2 types of tabs:
- Static tabs are available regardless of whether objects are selected in the drawing area. The commands on these tabs previously appeared on menus and toolbars.
Static Home tab
- Contextural tabs display depending on the object selected in the drawing area. When you select a duct, the ribbon displays a contextual tab for Duct. The commands on the contextual tabs reflect the commands on the context (right-click) menu of an object.
