Parametric Tab in AutoCAD - making it hidden or shown

Parametric constraints are a very useful tool in AutoCAD, but some versions of the software may not display the parametric tab by default. This is an easy fix that only requires a right-click on any one of the tabs that do show. 

In the screenshot below, the user right-clicked on the Home tab and hovered over Show Tabs. A menu appeared that allowed the user to click on Parametric. That tab will now show.
