Understanding Toolbars in AutoCAD 2025

AutoCAD, a widely used CAD software, offers various tools to enhance productivity. One of these essential tools is the toolbar, which provides quick access to frequently used commands. This guide will detail how to add and customize toolbars in AutoCAD 2025.

Adding a Toolbar in AutoCAD 2025

1. Access the CUI Command: Launch AutoCAD and type CUI into the command line. This command opens the Customize User Interface dialog, where you can modify various interface elements.

2. Select a Workspace: In the dialog, navigate to the Customize tab. Under the All Customization Files section, locate and select your current workspace. Workspaces are like presets that determine the layout of menus, toolbars, and palettes.

3. Customize the Workspace: On the right side of the interface, find and click the Customize Workspace button. This will allow you to modify the toolbars associated with the selected workspace.

4. Expand Toolbars List: On the left side, look for the Toolbars category. Click the small arrow next to it to expand the list of available toolbars.

5. Enable Desired Toolbars: Browse through the list and put a checkmark next to each toolbar you wish to add to your workspace. This action enables them and makes them accessible.

6. Apply Changes: After checking the desired toolbars, click OK at the bottom to apply the changes. The selected toolbars should now appear on your screen.

Showing the Ribbon in AutoCAD 2025

To display the Ribbon, AutoCAD provides a couple of methods:

• Using the Command Line: Type RIBBON at the command prompt and press Enter. This will show the Ribbon interface.

• Through the Tools Menu: Click on the Tools menu located at the top of the window. Navigate to Palettes and select Ribbon.

Ensure the Ribbon is enabled for your workspace; otherwise, it won’t display correctly.

Restoring the Quick Access Toolbar

If the Quick Access Toolbar is missing or requires reset, follow these steps:

1. Open the Customize Dialog: Access it by typing CUI again or using the customization options in the Tools menu.

2. Navigate to the Quick Access Tab: In the dialog box, click on the Quick Access tab.

3. Reset the Toolbar: Look for the Reset button on the Quick Access page. Click it and confirm your choice when prompted.

4. Close the Window: Finally, click Close to exit the Customize dialog. The Quick Access Toolbar should now be restored to its default settings.

Accessing Toolbar Options

You can further access toolbar options directly from the user interface:

1. View Toolbars: Click on View in the application menu. If using Windows, press the Alt key to reveal the menu.

2. Select Toolbars: In the drop-down, navigate to Toolbars and a list will appear. Choose the toolbars you want to show or hide, like the Bookmarks Toolbar.

3. Repeat As Necessary: If you need to show additional toolbars, repeat the previous step until your workspace has all the toolbars you require.
