3D modeling workspaces
Many types of projects and models can be built using AutoCAD, and each application or project type has a specific set of tools and commands that best serve this type of project or application. Workspaces are a feature of AutoCAD that help you optimize the working area to help you display and access the appropriate tools that best serve your project.
In this section, the concept of workspaces will be introduced, and we will take a quick tour of the preset 3D workspaces that are available in AutoCAD.
Introduction to workspaces
As shown in Chapter 1, An Introduction to AutoCAD, the commands and tools are organized into tabs and panels. Each tab contains several panels, and each panel contains a group of commands and tools. These collections of tabs and panels are a part of bigger groups called workspaces.
The reason for using workspaces is to optimize the user interface to best serve the application or the project. Workspaces help the user display specific...
