    AutoCAD 2010 with 2D Drafting & Annotation workspace
    active.
    AutoCAD 2010 with 3D Modeling workspace active
    AutoCAD 2010 with AutoCAD Classic workspace active.
    Setting The Workspace
    Steps to activating the 2d Drafting & Annotation workspace
    1. Start AutoCAD
    2. Use the default drawing or on the Quick Access toolbar, click NEW.
    3. Select acad.dwt (imperial) or acadiso.dwt (metric) as the
    template file.
    4. Click the Workspace settings icon, located at the bottom right
    corner of the AutoCAD window. Select 2D Drafting & Annotation.
    Keyboard Input
    Special Keys
    Use the ESC key to cancel all current actions and return to the Command:
    prompt.
    Press the ENTER key following all keyboard input. You also complete many
    commands by pressing ENTER.
    Pressing the SPACEBAR is equivalent to pressing the ENTER key and is often
    easier to use.
    Pressing the SPACEBAR or ENTER at the Command: prompt repeats the last
    command used.
    Pressing the UP and DOWN arrow keys will cycle through previous
    commands used.
    The TAB key is especially useful to navigate in a dialog box. You should use
    the TAB key to move from field to field. Be careful not to press ENTER.
    User Interface Layout
    1. Tabs: Identifies the purpose and name of the control
    panel.
    2. Panels: Contains groups of related tools associated
    with the selected tools.
    3. More tools: Click and hold the down arrow to display
    more tools and options in the selected panel.

    To turn specific tabs/panels on or off, right-click in the


    ribbon and select Tabs/Panels.
    Command Window
    The command window is normally located at the bottom of the
    application window and docked between the drawing area and
    status bar. Whether you enter a command manually at the
    command line or click a command tool on a toolbar, all
    commands are passed through and evaluated by the command
    line.
    Working with Files
    Drawings are created and saved in the DWG drawing file
    format. To access this data, you must learn how to create a
    new drawing, save a drawing, and open these file types. Use
    the Quick Access toolbar to create, open, and save new
    drawings.
    Displaying Objects
    When you use the software, you draw all objects at
    full scale. Sometimes you need to view the whole
    drawing, sometimes just smaller details. To assist you
    in viewing different areas of the drawing, there are a
    number of zoom and pan tools. You can easily
    magnify small areas of your drawing to provide a
    closer view or shift the view to a different or larger
    part of the drawing.
    Displaying Objects
    Zoom Tools
    Zoom tools help to assist you in viewing different areas of the
    drawing to get a closer view.
    Pan Tools
    You can reposition the centre of your view on the drawing by
    using the Pan command.
