What are the benefits of customizing AutoCAD?
Customizing AutoCAD provides many benefits that can increase your
productivity and make your drawings have a consistent appearance.
Customization can be as simple as creating a block that can be used in many
drawings over and over again, such as a title block, or customizing the user
interface with the Customize User Interface (CUI) Editor. For more information,
see
Work with the Customize User Interface (CUI) Editor on page 106.
