TIPS AND TRICKS
Workspaces
Workspaces are no longer displayed by de-
fault in the Quick Access toolbar. You can still
find them on the Status bar (who needs them
in two places anyway?).
the Classic Workspace has been
removed—time to get onboard with the
ribbon!
Galleries
The new block galleries make it easy to view
and insert blocks from your current drawing
directly from the ribbon.
You’ll also find helpful galleries for styles such
as dimensions, mleaders, text, tables, and
table cells.
Set GALLERYVIEW to  if you prefer
no galleries.
User Interface
Layouts
You’ll appreciate the layout preview thumb-
nails and the handy + symbol to quickly add
a new layout. For those of you who like to
heap on the layouts—you’ll like the overflow
menu for easy access to layouts that extend
to either side of the tabs. Drag and drop
layout tabs anywhere, including the overflow.
Do you prefer the layout tabs to display
above the Status bar? Use the new option in
the right-click menu.
Model Space Viewports
Model Space Viewports are easier to identify
and easier to resize. Simply drag the horizon-
tal or vertical viewport boundaries, or the
intersection, to resize them.
The + icon lets you easily
add more viewports …
just drag it to the proper
size.
You can join or remove a viewport by
dragging a boundary to the edge.
