As you move the cursor over a tool button, the button highlights and may display a border and tooltip. Use the tooltip to become familiar with the command. Select a tool button to activate the associated command. Some tool buttons include fl youts. Select a fl yout and then pick from the list to activate the command. The default Quick Access toolbar appears on the title bar in the upper-left corner of the AutoCAD window, to the right of the Application Menu button. See Figure 1-11. The Quick Access toolbar provides fast, convenient access to several common commands using one or two picks. Most other interface items require two or more picks to activate a command. When a drawing is open and the default Drafting & Annotation workspace is active, the Quick Access toolbar contains the New, Open, Save, Save As…, Plot, Undo, and Redo buttons. When no drawings are open, the New, Open, and Sheet Set Manager buttons display. A command or option accessible from the Quick Access toolbar appears as a graphic in the margin of this textbook. The graphic represents the process of picking a Quick Access toolbar button from the toolbar or fl yout. The example shown in this margin illustrates picking the Redo button to access the REDO command. NOTE NOTE Pick the Customize Quick Access Toolbar fl yout on the right side of the Quick Access toolbar to add, remove, and relocate tool buttons.
