The Ribbon
The ribbon, which was introduced in
AutoCAD LT , has been improved in
a few key areas for AutoCAD LT . It
still consists of commands organized into
tabs and panels, where each tab contains
multiple panels, and each panel contains
multiple tools. Now, though, the ribbon
has been updated to make it even more
flexible and adaptive—and of course,
customizable.
With sticky panels, you can make the
tools on a panel available no matter
what tab is active. To turn a panel into
a sticky panel, simply drag it o the
ribbon into the drawing editor. Now that
panel will always remain visible, even if
its tab is not, until you choose to put the
panel back on the ribbon.
