Create or Modify a Workspace Outside the Customize User Interface Editor
The easiest way to create or modify user interface elements in a workspace is
by customizing them in the application window. From the application window,
you can control the display and appearance of several of the most commonly
used user interface elements.
Once you customize the workspace, you can save the changes to an existing
or new workspace using the WSSAVE command. Once saved, you can access
the workspace any time you need to draw within that workspace environment.
For more information about customizing workspaces without the Customize
User Interface Editor, see
Control User Interface Elements Outside the CUI
Editor
on page 361.
Create or Modify a Workspace Using the Customize User Interface Editor
In the Customize User Interface (CUI) Editor, you can create or modify
workspaces with precise properties associated with the application and drawing
windows, and user interface elements (Quick Access toolbar, toolbars, menus,
ribbon tabs, and palettes).
You customize a workspace by selecting a workspace from the Workspaces
node in the Customizations In pane. The Workspace Contents and Properties
panes are displayed. To modify a workspace, you click the Customize
Workspace button in the Workspace Contents pane.
For more information about customizing workspaces with the Customize User
Interface Editor, see
Control User Interface Elements in the CUI Editor on
page 364.
After you click Customize Workspace in the Workspace Contents pane, the
Customizations In <file name> pane lists the user interface elements that can
be added to the workspace that is currently being modified. Check boxes are
displayed next to each user interface element in the loaded CUIx files. You
use the check boxes to add or remove user interface elements from a workspace.
