Switching to pre-2010 version user interface

Issue

You want to know if you can switch your user interface back to the pre-2010 version user interface.

Solution

It is possible to enable the Revit 2009 user interface in a Revit 2010 or 2011 product, but no support will be provided for problems that occur in that environment that are not reproduced in the standard ribbon user interface.

To switch your user interface for a Revit 2010 or 2011 product to the 2009 user interface follow these steps:

  1. Click here to download the file used to enable the 2009 user interface.
  2. Using Windows Explorer, add the downloaded file to the following directory:

    C:\Program Files\Autodesk Revit Product Name\Program

To switch back to the standard user interface, rename or delete the debug.ini file located in the above directory. 

debug.ini (ini - 0Kb)
