AutoCAD is a popular program because it can be customized to suit an individual’s needs. The toolbars are a
good example of this. You can have the toolbars you use most often on the screen all the time. You can easily
make them go away so that you have more drawing space. You can also customize them so you have the most
common commands on one toolbar. For example, the dimensioning toolbar is one that you will not want taking
up space on your screen while drawing, but is very handy when you’re dimensioning your drawing.

To remove the ribbon and have the most drawing space available, click on the “Clean Screen” icon in the bottom
right corner of the screen (or press CTRL+O[letter O]. To go back the to the standard display, click again on the
same icon. (Fig 8)
