Are you an AutoCAD user who is accustomed to the Classic Workspace but finding it difficult to navigate the new Workspace? Don’t worry, in this tutorial, we will guide you step by step on how to change from Workspace to Classic in AutoCAD. Let’s get started!
Step 1: Accessing the Options Menu
To begin, we need to access the Options menu. You can do this by clicking on the Application Menu located on the top left corner of your AutoCAD window. Once you click on it, a drop-down menu will appear.
Step 2: Selecting the User Preferences Option
In the drop-down menu, locate and click on the Options button. A new window will open with various tabs.
Step 3: Navigating to Display Preferences
In the Options window, find and click on the tab labeled “Display”. This is where you can customize your workspace settings.
Note:
If you are using a newer version of AutoCAD, make sure to select the “Workspace” option instead of “Display”.
Step 4: Choosing Classic Workspace
In the Display Preferences (or Workspace) tab, look for a section called “Interface”. Within this section, locate and check the box that says “Show Menu Bar”.
This will enable the classic workspace in your AutoCAD, bringing back the familiar menu bar. You can also customize your workspace further by rearranging or adding different menus and toolbars.
Step 5: Applying Changes
Once you have checked the “Show Menu Bar” option, click on the “Apply” button at the bottom right corner of the Options window. This will save your changes and instantly switch your workspace to the classic mode.
Note:
If you are using an older version of AutoCAD, you may need to click on the “OK” button instead of “Apply”.
Step 6: Enjoying Classic Workspace
Congratulations! You have successfully changed your AutoCAD workspace from the modern interface to the classic one. Now you can enjoy working in a more familiar environment with easy access to all your favorite tools and features.
Troubleshooting:
If you encounter any issues during this process, make sure that you have administrative privileges on your computer. Additionally, double-check that you are using a version of AutoCAD that supports switching between workspaces.
- If you are still having trouble, try restarting AutoCAD or even restarting your computer before attempting these steps again.
- If all else fails, consider reaching out to Autodesk support for further assistance.
We hope this tutorial has been helpful in guiding you through changing from Workspace to Classic in AutoCAD. Enjoy using AutoCAD in a way that suits your preferences and workflow!
