The New Features Workshop has been updated to include AutoCAD 2010 functionality. Multiple versions of the Quick Access toolbar can be created and added to different workspaces. The Quick Access toolbar can be customized using the new Quick Access toolbars node in the CUI Editor. Other options enable you to show the menu bar or display the Quick Access toolbar below the ribbon. The flyout menu provides easy access to additional tools using the Command List pane in the CUI Editor. The Quick Access toolbar includes a new flyout menu, which displays a list of common tools that you can select to include in the Quick Access toolbar. The Undo and Redo tools include history support and the right-click menu includes new options that enable you to easily remove tools from the toolbar, add separators between tools, and display the Quick Access toolbar above or below the ribbon. The Quick Access toolbar has been enhanced with more functionality and to ensure consistency with other Windows applications. Select it and modify its display type to indicate if it should be displayed as its own tab or merged onto each ribbon tab. For example, if you want the Home tab to become active whenever you select an Arc object, drag the Home-2D ribbon tab to the Arc selected node under the Contextual Tab States. To add a ribbon tab, drag it from the Tabs node in the Customizations In pane to the contextual tab state. You can display a ribbon tab that is assigned to a ribbon contextual tab state either on its own tab or with its panels merged onto each of the ribbon tabs in the current workspace. You can customize contextual ribbon tab states which control the display of ribbon tabs and panels based on either the type of object selected in the drawing window or the active command. When resizing the vertical ribbon, buttons automatically flow to the next or previous row and other elements, such as slider bars, automatically shorten or lengthen.Ĭustom dashboard panels can be converted to new ribbon panels using the Transfer tab in the Customize User Interface (CUI) Editor.
The panel titles are displayed by default and those with additional tools include slide-out panels. The vertical ribbon has been updated to show the tab names along the side. Sticky panels remain displayed, even when selecting a different tab, until you select the option to Return Panels to Ribbon. You can drag a ribbon panel off the ribbon to display it as a sticky panel.
