Install Express Tools option missing

Issue

Solution

The Install Express Tools option has been removed from Autodesk® Architectural Desktop 2006/2007 and Autodesk® Building Systems 2006/2007 installations due to the number of known issues involving the use of Express Tools with these products. Listed below are the known issues that may be encountered during the use of Express Tools with Autodesk Architectural Desktop 2006/2007 or Autodesk Building Systems 2006/2007.

Wipeout objects are placed at wrong elevation
If you set a new UCS current that has the Z coordinate set to a value other than 0, the wipeout objects placed in the drawing will still be placed at 0 elevation (World). To work around this issue, you will need to move the wipeout to the correct elevation.

Change Space command crashes when Autodesk Architectural Desktop Objects are selected
Using the Change Space command on Autodesk Architectural Desktop objects will often lead to the unexpected termination of your session.

Change Space command breaks AEC Dimension associativity
Using the Change Space command on an AEC Dimension in model space will not bring the AEC Dimension into paper space correctly. The AEC Dimension will be disassociated from the Autodesk Architectural Desktop objects and a defect marker will be displayed.

Change Space command can cause ARX errors
Do not use the Change Space command to bring tags placed in xrefs through paper space into model space as this action will result in ARX errors and the tags association to the object will be lost.

Arc Aligned Text and Hardware Acceleration crash
You may experience a crash if you copy MTEXT and paste it into the Arc Aligned Text dialog while you have Hardware Acceleration enabled.

Note: If you still want to install Express Tools with either Autodesk Architectural Desktop or Autodesk Building Systems, you can select the Custom installation type during the initial installation and enable the Express Tools option.

If you have already installed Autodesk Architectural Desktop or Autodesk Building Systems without Express Tools, and you now want to install Express Tools, you can use the Change option in the Windows Add or Remove Programs dialog box. You can then access the Add or Remove Features option, which can be used to Add Express Tools to an existing installation.
