Layou Tab Disappears after loading Sheet Metal module

[mmaenpaa]

Just started using Creo Elements Direct 18.1 this week. Was using CoCretea 2007 previously.

After loading the Sheet Metal module, the Layout tab disappears and I haven't figured out how to get it back without exiting and restaring the software.

Has this happened to anyone else?

I need the Layout tab to transfer to Direct Drafting, unless of course I just type the commands at command line.

Can anyone help to prevent the tab from disappearing or how to re-load it when it does?

Thanks!

Mike

What I also don't understand, is why Layout doesn't show up in the list of All Tabs in the customize dialog.

To bring back the Layout Tab, you need to enter (show-layout) at the command line.
