Assignment: AutoCAD Interface

1. Application Menu/Button

It may be found in the upper-left corner of the workspace. We can shut the application menu by
clicking anywhere outside the application button or window.

2. Quick Access Toolbar

The Quick Access Toolbar may be found at the top of the program window, to the right of the
application menu. It is made up of a collection of frequently used commands. According to the needs,
we can add and remove commands.

3. Ribbon Panel

It gives you access to the dialog box for that panel. If the ribbon panel vanishes, we must type
'ribbon' on the command line to re-display it on the workspace.

4. User Coordinate System (UCS)

The UCS is the active coordinate system that represents the XY plane in 2D and XYZ planes in 3D. It
acts as the direction in the X, Y, and Z-axis for drawing and modeling. We can control the origin and
orientation of the UCS to make drawings according to the specific points and coordinates. We can also
work with drawing aids such as Grid and the ortho mode.

5. Model Space / Work Space / Drawing Window

It is defined as the area to create 2D and 3D drawings, models, and objects. We can create using
different commands according to the requirements.

6. View Cube

The View Cube is termed as the navigation tool that is displayed when we are working on a 2D or 3D
model space. We can switch between the isometric view and the standard view of our drawings or
model.

7. Navigation Bar

The Navigation Bar is used to access the navigation tools. It is a user interface element, where we
can access both unified (common tools) and product-specific tools (unique product tools).

8. Model Layout Tab

A layout is defined as a 2D working environment for creating the drawing sheets. The model tab is
the screen where we create the 2D and 3D drawings.

9. Command Line Window

The command line window is used to write the commands. We need to press 'Enter' after typing any
particular command. The AutoCAD also displays the steps after each command on the Command line.
We need to select the option and press 'Enter' after each step.

10. Status Bar

The status bar displays the drawing tools that affect the drawing environment. It provides quick
access to most of the commonly used drawing tools. It includes options such as ISODRAFT,
ORTHOMODE, AUTOSNAP, OSNAP, etc.
