If there are AutoCAD commands that you use often, you can place them here. It contains most frequently used AutoCAD tools. Quick Access Toolbar (QAT) comes with ribbon interface.

Even if you’ve never seen AutoCAD in your entire life, you know you can activate a command from here. This is the most apparent way to activate a command in latest version. Ribbon doesn’t bother me too much, in prior to 2009 I don’t use toolbar that much anyway. It feels slow (personally I feel it becomes better in later version) and take too much screen real estate. Many AutoCAD veterans don’t like ribbon, because it’s a big change from toolbar to ribbon. I’m not suggesting it’s the best method, but I do like it than toolbar. I found that many occasional users also like ribbon. If you learn AutoCAD after this version, you probably use this as primary method.

So let’s try to explore all methods that you can use to use AutoCAD commands and see how you can use them effectively. It would be better for you to know other methods, so you can decide which one works best for you. But Function keys are faster to toggle Ortho mode. One method may be faster in general, but other method can be faster when doing other tasks.įor example command line is faster for most AutoCAD users for activating line command. That’s why there are many methods to access AutoCAD commands.

It was designed to run on different operating system and different standard interface until today. People already use it before it runs on Windows.
