Taking the AutoCAD Tour
What is AutoCAD?
• AutoCAD is a CAD (Computer Aided Design or Computer Aided
Drafting) software application for 2D and 3D design and drafting.
Objectives
• Describe and set the workspace.
• Identify and use keyboard functions.
• Identify key parts of the interface.
• Use the shortcut menu to access commands and options.
• Explain the purpose of AutoCAD-specific interface tools.
Navigating the Working Environment
Before you begin creating
drawings, you should
familiarize yourself with
the interface.
Navigating the Working Environment
Setting the Workspace
Workspaces Defined
• When you launch the application, the
interface elements displayed are only those
associated with the active workspace. A
workspace is a task-oriented drawing
environment oriented in such a way as to
provide you with only the tools and interface
elements necessary to accomplish the tasks
relevant to that environment.
• By default, AutoCAD has four workspace
configurations:
• 2D Drafting & Annotation
• 3D Modeling
• AutoCAD Classic
• Initial Setup Workspace
AutoCAD is shown here with the 2D Drafting & Annotation workspace active.
AutoCAD is shown here with the 3D Modeling workspace active
AutoCAD is shown here with the AutoCAD Classic workspace active.
After you start the program you can switch to the desired workspace. The application will open with
the last workspace used. The Workspace Switching dropdown list is accessed in the lower right corner
of the AutoCAD window on the Status Bar.

Keyboard Input
Keyboard Input
• Function Keys
The use of each of the function
keys can be duplicated in other
ways with the exception of F2.
You may find that the on-screen
equivalents to the function keys
are easier and allow you to keep
your eyes on the screen.

User Interface Layout
User Interface Layout
Heads-up Design Defined is a methodology intended to increase your efficiency
while using the software.
• Whenever you turn your visual focus away from your design to locate a tool, it slows you down.
Instead, you should use the most efficient access methods such as Dynamic Input, right-click
shortcut menus and the ribbon control panels whenever possible.
User Interface Layout
Ribbon Defined  is a special tool palette (a thin oval or rectangular board) associated
with each workspace containing only the tools and controls relevant to that workspace
• For example, the ribbon for the 2D Drafting & Annotation workspace contains tools relevant to
2D drawing, dimensioning, and annotating, but does not contain tools for 3D geometry
creation.
User Interface Layout
Ribbon Controls—> turned on by default when you start the software in either the 2D
Drafting & Annotation or the 3D Modeling workspace.
• The ribbon is organized into a series of tabs. Each tab includes a different set of panels with
related commands and controls that may be found on the Classic AutoCAD toolbars and dialog
boxes.

Panels
• AutoCAD uses ribbon panels as one means to access commands and settings. Similar tools commands are
grouped together in panels and can be accessed by clicking the button or icon that indicates the tool's
purpose. Each panel consists of a collection of tools that performs related or similar tasks.
• Notice that when you select a different tab, a different set of panels is displayed
• By default, each panel is docked at the top of the drawing area on the ribbon. You can move the panels away
from the docked position to a floating position or drag them back into the ribbon.
