A quick access bar is added for saving more time. The new Menu button is added to display a fully loaded menu for the quick access of menu bar items, recent documents, currently opened documents or recent command actions, AutoCAD’s Options command, Search window and an exit AutoCAD button. Ribbons are also divided into two different subcategories for 2D and 3D workspaces. Many other customizations are also made, for example, a new completely customizable toolbar with an enhanced palette is also introduced which can be docked and placed anywhere as required for easy drag and drop features. Another wonderful feature about the ribbon is that it can go to the docked mode. The ribbon also includes a fly-out menu so to move the less frequently used tools within the same general category.
You can move the new ribbon to any of the sides of the AutoCAD window. AutoCAD is highly customizable which makes its user more comfortable than any other tool. Many of the people don’t like the ribbon interface so AutoCAD provides the facility to customize the user interface as desired.
In AutoCAD 2009, Autodesk has introduced a new ribbon interface like that of Microsoft office for different operations.
