Workspaces in AutoCAD

There are three workspaces available in AutoCAD: Drafting & Annotation, 3D Basics, and 3D

Modeling. By default, the Drafting & Annotation workspace is activated. You can create 2D drawings

in this workspace. You can also activate other workspaces by using the Workspace drop-down on the

top-left corner or the Workspace Switching menu on the lower-right corner of the window.

This workspace has all the tools to create a 2D drawing. It has a ribbon located at the top of the

screen. The ribbon is arranged in a hierarchy of tabs, panels, and tools. Panels such as Draw,

Modify, and Layers consist of tools which are grouped based on their usage. Panels in turn are

3D Basics and 3D Modeling Workspaces

These workspaces are used to create 3D models. You will learn more about these workspaces in

1xChapter 12. The other components of the user Interface are discussed next.
