ExploringtheUserInterface

Ribbon
At the top of the interface is the standard Microsoft Windows element ribbon.
The ribbon is an element of the user interface which replaces the traditional menu
and toolbars and allows easy managing and adjusting the workspace. The ribbon
consists of several panels, grouped on tabs that are named by task or subject. The
ribbonpanelsincludemanyAutoCADStructuralDetailingcommandsthathavebeen
