Issue
After a new install of 2020 Cap or a software patch do you have trouble opening the Automation Center? The Automation Center (sometimes referred to as the Automation Palette) is normally launched by clicking on the rainbow-colored asterisk on the 2020 Cap toolbar. Sometimes after a new install or update it will seem as though the Automation Center will not open.
Solution
If you experience this, it is most likely that the Automation Center is launching but that you are not able to view it as it may be scrunched up on the left-hand side of your AutoCAD screen. We recommend that you close the 2020 Cap Explorer (the Sun Dial icon). If you click on the rainbow-colored asterisk to open and close the Automation Center several times, you will see the small sliver of the Automation Center opening and closing just to the left of the drawing area in AutoCAD.
When you are certain that the Automation Center is open, then you will want to slowly move your mouse to the left-hand side of the screen just past the drawing area. You will see your mouse turn into a two-sided arrow. Once this two-sided arrow appears, you will be able to left click and then pull the Automation Center back out so that it is in view.
