2.11 Workspaces

 

As we explained in the 2.2 section, in the quick access bar there is a drop-down menu that switches the interface between workspaces. A "Workspace" is actually a set of commands arranged in the ribbon oriented to a specific task. For example, the “2D drawing and annotation” workspace privileges the presence of commands that serve to draw objects in two dimensions and create their corresponding dimensions. The same goes for the “3D Modeling” workspace, which presents the commands to create 3D models, render them, etc. on the ribbon.

Let's say it another way: Autocad has a huge amount of commands on the ribbon and on the toolbars, as we could see. So many that not all fit on the screen at the same time and how, in addition, only some of them are occupied depending on the task that is performed, then, Autodesk programmers have arranged them in what they have called “workspaces”.

Therefore, when selecting a specific workspace, the ribbon presents the set of commands that correspond to it. Therefore, when changing to a new workspace, the tape is also transformed. It should be added that the status bar also contains a button to switch between workspaces.
