In this tutorial, we will learn how to insert a dialogue box in AutoCAD. A dialogue box serves as a powerful tool for inputting data and making selections within the software. By following a few simple steps, we can easily add this feature to our AutoCAD drawings.
To begin, let’s open AutoCAD and navigate to the “Tools” menu. From there, select “Customize” and then “Interface.” This will open the “Customize User Interface” window.
In the “Customize User Interface” window, click on the “Toolbars” tab. Here, you will find a list of available toolbars that can be added to your workspace.
Locate the “Dialogue Boxes” option and ensure that it is checked. If it is not checked, simply click on it to enable it.
Once you have enabled the “Dialogue Boxes” option, click on the “Apply” button followed by the “OK” button to close the window. You should now see a new toolbar appearing on your screen.
Now let’s explore how to use the dialogue box in AutoCAD. Select an object or an action in your drawing that requires additional input or customization. For example, if you want to create a new layer, simply click on the “Layer Properties Manager” icon from the dialogue box toolbar.
Upon clicking on the icon, a dialogue box will appear on your screen. This dialogue box allows you to specify various parameters such as layer name, color, linetype, and so on. Fill in these details according to your requirements and click on the “OK” button.
Congratulations! You have successfully inserted a dialogue box in AutoCAD and used it to create a new layer. This same process can be followed for other actions or objects that require user input or customization within AutoCAD.
