Are you an AutoCAD user who is missing their toolbar? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered!
In this tutorial, we will guide you step by step on how to get your AutoCAD toolbar back. So let’s dive in!
Step 1: Checking the Toolbar Visibility
If your AutoCAD toolbar has disappeared, the first thing you need to do is check its visibility status. To do this, go to the top menu and click on View.
From the drop-down menu, select Toolbars. A list of available toolbars will be displayed.
Step 1.1: Understanding Toolbar States
In AutoCAD, toolbars can have three different states: visible, hidden, or docked. A visible toolbar is displayed on your screen and can be moved around.
A hidden toolbar is not visible but can be easily restored. Lastly, a docked toolbar is attached to the edges of your workspace.
Step 2: Restoring a Hidden Toolbar
If your AutoCAD toolbar is hidden, follow these steps to restore it:
- Select the View tab from the top menu.
- Click on Toolbars.
- Select the desired toolbar from the list.
- The selected toolbar will now become visible on your screen.
Step 3: Undocking a Docked Toolbar
If your AutoCAD toolbar is docked and you prefer it to be floating or movable:
- Select the toolbar you want to undock by clicking and dragging it from its current position.
- Release the mouse button to drop the toolbar into a new location.
- The toolbar will now be undocked and can be moved freely across your workspace.
Step 4: Resetting AutoCAD Toolbar Layout
If none of the above steps worked, you can try resetting the AutoCAD toolbar layout. Here’s how:
- Type ‘CUI’ in the command line and press Enter.
- The Customize User Interface (CUI) Editor will open.
- Select the workspace that contains your missing toolbar from the left pane.
- In the right pane, click on ‘Toolbars’ to expand it.
- Locate your missing toolbar in the list and check its visibility status.
- If it is set to ‘Hidden’, right-click on it and select ‘Show’. If it is set to ‘Off’, right-click on it and select ‘Turn On’.
- Click on ‘Apply’ and then on ‘OK’ to save your changes.
Congratulations! You have successfully retrieved your AutoCAD toolbar. Now you can continue working seamlessly with all your favorite tools at your fingertips!
