Are you using AutoCAD 2015 and finding the new interface a bit overwhelming? Don’t worry, you can easily switch to Classic Mode and regain the familiar look and feel of previous versions. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to switch to Classic Mode in AutoCAD 2015.
Step 1: Accessing the Options Menu
To begin, click on the Application menu located at the top-left corner of the AutoCAD window. A drop-down menu will appear, and from there, select Options. Alternatively, you can also press Alt+F8 on your keyboard to open the Options menu.
Step 2: Finding the Workspace Settings
In the Options dialog box, you will see a list of categories on the left-hand side. Scroll down until you find Display. Click on it to expand its options.
Note:
If you prefer using keyboard shortcuts instead of scrolling, you can directly jump to this category by typing “D” on your keyboard. This will highlight “Display” in the list. Press Enter to access it.
Step 3: Changing Workspace Settings
In the Display options, locate Show Toolbars in Drawing Area. By default, it is set to “No<\/i>“. Click on it and select “Show<\/i>” from the drop-down menu that appears.
Step 4: Applying Changes
After selecting “Show<\/i>“, click on the Apply button at the bottom-right corner of the Options dialog box. This will apply the changes without closing the dialog box.
Step 5: Confirming Changes
To confirm and finalize the switch to Classic Mode, click on the OK button. The Options dialog box will close, and you will notice that the classic toolbar layout is now visible in your AutoCAD workspace.
Note:
If you ever want to switch back to the new interface, simply repeat these steps and select “No<\/i>” in Step 3 instead of “Show<\/i>“.
Congratulations! You have successfully switched to Classic Mode in AutoCAD 2015. Enjoy using your favorite toolbar layout and continue working with ease.
