Before installing the new CONNECT update, I was able to open any file with either the new interface (CONNECT Edition) or the old STAAD if I needed to finish quick and do not have time to familiarize with the new interface. After the update the old STAAD icon got removed from task bar and I can not find it anywhere. Please advise how to solve this quickly.
The old V8i interface is not available in STAAD.Pro CONNECT Edition anymore.
In that case you must do the Ribon Bar customizable (same as in MicroStation). The nostalgia for V8i is not only because people used to it - it's also because in a new Ribbon Bar some icons are placed inconveniently to different ribbons, which causes multiple mouseclicks for just changing e.g. view during the analytical modeling.

We have introduced few customizations in the new interface to easily access the icons that are frequently used. Refer the below wiki link for more details.
