Create User Interface Elements
User interface elements are used to organize and display commands in
AutoCAD.
To decide what user interface elements to create, determine how often you
want to access a command. Then determine if you want to add the custom
command to a shortcut key, the Quick Access toolbar, a ribbon panel or
another type of user interface element.
Create a Quick Access Toolbar
You create Quick Access toolbars in the CUI Editor to determine which
commands and controls are displayed on the Quick Access toolbar.
Quick Access toolbars are used to organize and display the commands that
you frequently use. For more information about customizing the Quick Access
toolbar, see
Quick Access Toolbars on page 194.
Create a new Quick Access toolbar to hold the
commands you want displayed.
