      AutoCAD allows you to decide what you would like displayed on the Status Bar. Customizing the Status Bar is strictly personal preference. You decide.

      1.Right click on the Status Bar.

      A pop-up menu appears listing all tool options.

      A check mark means the tool is displayed. If you click on any of the tool names it will uncheck and will not be displayed. Repeat that selection to bring it back.

       Drawing Status Bar

      I like to display the Drawing Status Bar. It basically separates some of the drawing tools from the Status Bar and relocates them directly under the drawing area.

      I also like to display the Model and Layout tabs.

      This display is controlled in Options / Display tab.

      It includes the most commonly used tools, such as New, Open, Save, Save as, Undo and Redo and Plot.

       How to Customize the Quick Access Toolbar

      You can add tools with the Customize User Interface dialog box.

       For Example:

      After you have completed Lesson 4 you will find that you will be using “Zoom All” often. So I add the “Zoom All” tool to the Quick Access Toolbar. If you would like to add the “Zoom All” tool, or any other tool, to your Quick Access Toolbar follow the steps below.

      1.Place the Cursor on the Quick Access Toolbar and press the right mouse button.

      2.Select “Customize Quick Access Toolbar...” from the menu.

      3.Scroll through the list of Commands to “Zoom, All”

      4.Press the Left mouse button on “Zoom,All” and drag it to a location on the Quick Access Toolbar and drop it by releasing the left mouse button.

      5.Select the OK button at the bottom of the Customize User Interface dialog box.

      The Customize User Interface dialog box will disappear and the new Quick Access Toolbar is saved to the current Workspace.

       To Remove a tool:

      Place the cursor on the tool to remove and press the right mouse button.

      Select Remove from Quick Access Toolbar.

      1.Select the Customize User Interface EXPORT using one of the following:

      Ribbon = Manage tab / Customization panel / image

       or

       Keyboard = CUIEXPORT <enter>

      2.Select the Workspace you wish to export.
