What happens if I skip or cancel Initial Setup?
If you skip or cancel Initial Setup, AutoCAD LT is not changed from its current
state. You can return to Initial Setup at any time by going to the User
Preferences tab in the Options dialog box.
What are the benefits of selecting task-based tools?
Workspaces control which task-based tools are displayed in the Application
window and when they are displayed. You can create different workspaces
based on the types of drawings you work on. For more information about
customizing the user interface and workspaces, see Work with the Customize
User Interface (CUI) Editor and Customize Workspaces in the Customization
Guide.
What is a workspace?
Workspaces are sets of menus, toolbars, palettes, ribbon panels, and ribbon
tabs that are organized so you can work in a custom, task-oriented drawing
environment. When you use a workspace, only the user interface elements
that are relevant to a task are displayed. For more information about
customizing workspaces, see Customize Workspacesin the Customization Guide.
How do I make changes to a workspace at a later time?
Workspaces are used to control many of the tools displayed in the Application
window of AutoCAD LT. You can modify the current workspace in a limited
way from the Application window or you have full control over all aspects of
a workspace with the Customize User Interface (CUI) Editor. For more
information about customizing workspaces, see Customize Workspaces in the
Customization Guide.
What is a drawing template file?
A drawing template (DWT) file is used to provide consistency for each new
drawing (DWG) file that is created. DWT files can contain named objects,
drawing based settings, and geometric objects. Stored named objects include
layers, and text and dimension styles among others. Along with named objects,
a DWT file can hold values for drawing based system variables, and any
