You can create a custom user interface layout, including custom keyboard
shortcuts, colors, menus, and quad menus. You can load or save all of these
things individually in the Customize User Interface dialog, or you can load
or save all of them at once, using schemes. Schemes allow you to load all
customized features of the UI at one time.
You can hide,
float or dock on page 7761 , resize, and rearrange some UI
elements into your own personal design. You can also lock the UI once you’ve
got it set. Tools are provided in the Customize menu to load and save these
custom UI files, or to revert to the startup user interface.
System preferences such as keyboard shortcuts, viewport configuration, units
setup, grid and snap settings, and many important default settings, are also
on the Customize menu.
TIP You can access many of these commands with keyboard shortcuts or right-click
options. For example, you can display the Grid and Snap Settings dialog by
right-clicking the Snaps buttons on the main toolbar; you can display the Viewport
Configuration dialog by right-clicking the viewport label, and then choosing
Configure.
