Toolbar differences in ACAD and Desktop

I've just started using Architectural Desktop 2004 and noticed that the toolbars are different compared to AutoCAD 2004. Specifically the 'Viewports' toolbar which I used to use all the time when plotting.

 

So my question is: How do I get AutoCAD toolbars such as 'viewports' to show up in Architectural Desktop? And generally speaking what are the specific differences between the two programs? Is there a list online?

 

My temporary solution was to use the 'menu' command and load 'acad.msc' which gave me all the good old toolbars that I missed. Only now I don't have the 'Navigation' toolbar and others that seem to only be in Architectural Desktop.

 

I wanted the best of both programs and tried to pick up Arch desktop but can't even use my basic options anymore. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Might be a bit too obvious, but right-click anywhere around the edge of the display area where you don't have any toolbars docked. You'll get a list of the menu groups that are loaded. Highlight the one called ACAD & you'll get a list of the standard AutoCAD toolbars. The ones marked with a tick are already being displayed on your screen. Select any others you want to make them available.
