       LEARNING OBJECTIVES

       After completing this lesson, you will be able to:

      1. Customize the Workspace

      2. Customize the Ribbon

      3. Customize the Status Bar

      4. Customize the Quick Access Toolbar

      5. Select, Export, Import and Delete a Workspace

      At this stage of your AutoCAD education you are probably not too interested in customizing AutoCAD. But I would like to at least introduce you to the Custom User Interface to familiarize you with a few of the customizing options that are available.

      It is relatively easy to use and sometimes helpful. If you find it intriguing you may explore further using the AutoCAD “Help” system discussed in Lesson 1 in the Beginning workbook.

      Start by opening the Customize User Interface dialog box using one of the following:

      RIBBON = MANAGE TAB / CUSTOMIZATION PANEL / images

       KEYBOARD = CUI

       The following dialog box should appear.

      Have you found yourself wishing that you could move some of the commands from one Ribbon Panel to another? Or possibly Add, Remove or Move the Tabs. Well you can. You can create a Workspace all of your own very easily.

      Important: Before you begin customizing your workspace it is important to create a Duplicate Workspace rather than modify an existing workspace. This will allow you to revert back to the original AutoCAD default workspace appearance.

      Don’t be afraid to experiment. I will also show you how to easily return
