AutoCAD 2008 User Interface

Manage Workspaces:

The new workspace provides a direct access to the two-dimensional sketch and annotation tools that users use most. It includes menus, toolbars, and tool palette groups, as well as panels. Two-dimensional sketch and annotation workspaces are provided in Cui files so that users can easily integrate them into their own custom interfaces. In addition to the new two-dimensional sketch and annotation workspace, the three-dimensional modeling workspace has also been enhanced.

Using panels:

The panel introduced in AutoCAD 2007 has new enhancements in this release. It includes 9 new consoles that make it easier to access multiple controls such as layers, annotation proportions, text, callouts, multiple arrows, tables, two-dimensional navigation, object properties, and block properties.

In addition to joining the Panel console, improvements have been made to the existing console, which allows users to customize the Panel console using the custom user interface (CUI) tool. A more automated user interface is when a user selects a tool from a panel, and if the selected panel console corresponds to a tool palette group, the tool palette automatically displays the group. For example, if a user adjusts a visual style property on a panel, the Style Palette group appears automatically.
