Unifying the User Interface

The user interface of many central Autodesk products, like AutoCAD, AutoCAD Architecture, AutoCAD MEP, the Revit Suite, Civil 3D, and 3D Studio Max have been redesigned in order to show a common design and interaction paradigm. The main parts of the new and improved interface are the following:

The Ribbon
Similarly to Microsoft Office, AutoCAD Architecture 2010 now uses the ribbon as the central access point for commands. The ribbon contains a number of tabs on which commands are grouped according to conceptual task types or selected objects. The ribbon replaces the menu bar and the toolbars as the primary command access point.

Ribbon tabs - 2 types


Static tabs :
Available regardless of which objects are selected in the drawing area. The commands on these tabs were previously located on the menus and toolbars.

Contextual tabs :
Display depending on the object selected in the drawing area. When you select a door, a contextual tab for doors is displayed. The commands on the contextual tabs reflect the commands on the context menu of an object.

Ribbon Tooltips
A short description displays whenever you pause the cursor over a command in the ribbon.

The Application Menu


The application menu contains basic commands pertaining to the drawing as a whole such as
Open Save Print Export.

Like the menu browser it replaces, the application menu is accessed by clicking in the upper-left corner of the workspace.

The Quick Access Toolbar


The Quick Access toolbar is a customizable toolbar located at the top of the application window, just to the right of the application menu button. By default, this toolbar contains a set of frequently used commands for the application. You can add and remove commands as needed.

The InfoCenter Toolbar


InfoCenter is a central location where you can search for product-related help and other information sources. You can search for information through keywords (or by typing a phrase), display the Communication Center panel for product updates and announcements, or display the Favorites panel to access saved topics.

Help Menu
With the removal of the menu bars, the commands to access Help features have been moved into the InfoCenter at the top right of the application window. Here, you can find the Help menu that lets you access Help, Tutorials, and other interactive resources.

Improved Import Capabilities


In this version of AutoCAD Architecture, you can access more content and files to help you create your model and construction documents. Autodesk Seek You can use Autodesk Seek to find product design information. Many content providers, both corporate partners and individual contributors, publish to Autodesk Seek. Content includes 3D models, 2D drawings, specifications, brochures, and other descriptions of products or components. Import design content into AutoCAD Architecture
