Issue

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

Solution

There is no supported way to switch back to the previous user interface.

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

To switch your user interface for a Revit 2010 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 2010\Program

To switch back to the standard 2010 user interface, rename or delete the debug.ini file located in the above directory. 

debug.ini (ini - 0Kb)
