Main interfaces (workspaces) AutoCAD Workspace AutoCAD is an organization and view of
toolbars and tabbed panels, floating classic toolbars, Quick Access toolbar, command line, status
bar, UCS icon, etc. in other words, all that we see after opening the drawing in the working window
is the interface of AutoCAD.

BO BOUNDARY / Creates a region or a polyline from an enclosed area

BR BREAK / Breaks the selected object between two points

BS BSAVE / Saves the current block definition

BVS BVSTATE / Creates, sets, or deletes a visibility state in a dynamic block

CIRCLE / Creates a circle

C

CAM CAMERA / Sets a camera and target location to create and save a 3D perspective view of objects

CONSTRAINTBAR / A toolbar-like UI element that displays the available geometric constraints on

CBAR
an object
