Create Task-Based Workspaces
Workspaces are sets of menus, toolbars, palettes, and ribbon control panels
that are grouped and organized so that you can work in a custom, task-oriented
drawing environment.
When you use a workspace, only the menus, toolbars, and palettes that are
relevant to a task are displayed. In addition, a workspace may automatically
display the ribbon, a special palette with task-specific control panels.
For more information about using the ribbon, see
The Ribbon on page 25.
You can easily switch between workspaces. The following task-based workspaces
are already defined in the product:
2D Drafting & Annotation
3D Modeling
AutoCAD Classic
For example, when you create 3D models, you can use the 3D Modeling
workspace that contains only 3D-related toolbars, menus, and palettes.
