Control the Display of User Interface Elements on the Application and
Drawing Windows
Workspaces control the display of user interface elements such as toolbars
and the menu bar. While a workspace primarily provides toolbars, menus,
ribbon tabs, and palettes, you can also use a workspace to control user interface
elements for the application and drawing windows. A workspace can control
the following:
■ Which layout tab is set current when a drawing is opened
■ Display of the menu bar
■ Display of the application and drawing status bars
■ If layout tabs are displayed along the bottom of the drawing window.
■ Display of the legacy screen menu
■ Display of scroll bars in the drawing window
Control the Display of the Quick Access Toolbar
The Quick Access toolbar that is displayed on the application window is
controlled by the current workspace. While a workspace does not directly
control which commands are displayed on the Quick Access toolbar, it does
control which Quick Access toolbar in the loaded CUIx files is displayed. For
information about creating and editing Quick Access toolbars, see
Quick Access
Toolbars
on page 194.
Control the Display of Ribbon Tabs and Panels on the Ribbon
The display and order of ribbon tabs and panels on the ribbon are controlled
through workspaces. You add and specify the order of ribbon tabs and their
associated panels in the Workspace Contents pane. You add ribbon panels to
a ribbon tab through the Customizations In <file name> pane.
After you assign ribbon tabs to a workspace, you can control the default display
and behavior of both ribbon tabs and panels through the Properties pane.
From the Properties pane, you can set the Tool Palette Group for a ribbon tab
and orientation and resize order for a ribbon panel. For information about
