AutoCAD is a powerful software used by professionals in the fields of architecture, engineering, and design. Over the years, AutoCAD has introduced various updates and changes to its user interface.
While some users may prefer the new interface, others may find it more convenient to work in the classic mode. In this tutorial, we will explore how to change AutoCAD to classic mode.
Step 1: Open AutoCAD Options
To begin, open AutoCAD and click on the “Application” button located on the top left corner of the window. From the drop-down menu, select “Options”.

Step 3: Enable Classic Mode
Under the “Window Elements” section, locate the “Enable Classic Mode” checkbox. This checkbox allows you to switch between the new interface and classic mode.
