AutoCad M.E.P. and ribbon

[spkreng]

I have been used to AutoCad LT, but just got M.E.P. my question is how do I get the traditional tool pallets as opposed to the ribbons?

Bottom right corner that looks like a gear. Then pick Autocad Classic. Ribbon sucks.

Let me know what you think of AutoCAD MEP for fire sprinkler system design. I will be interested to hear what others think of it.

Travis, I didn't get into it real deeply, but I found it overwhelming, considering I've been using AutoCAD LT since like 1998, for piping it had alot of commands and symbols, and seemed to be geared for a nice 3D and cooridantion, however it's commands were stacked with alot of electrical and HVAC pallets.
Mainly I was revising an existing (all wrong) sprinkler plan and only needed to clone a couple of lines and respace the whole thing, it looked fine on the plan but when verified with the hard copy blueprints the column to line to column to wall MATH left lines 10'-4" off walls, why do lazy architectects change the dimension and not move the wall, it's not like it's all that hard!!!! pet peeve
Back to your ? given more time and maybe a online tutorial I would highly recommend MEP looks to be good with BIM. I had to use a friends cause I couldn't open up the dwg's in AcceliCAD
