Workspaces Switching
- 2D Drafting and classic interface can be switched in a wink. 2D drafting interface is supported by a ribbon with its tabs and panels. It displays the most used commands as thumbnails for easy selection. Classic interface is supported by toolbars and it's the most preferred by old users.

Interface Appearance
- Interface appearance makes your drawing environment more comfortable because it supports options for applying different themes as well as show or hide the menu bar, toolbars, file tabs and status bar.
- User Interaction
Command Line Window
- You can enter a command, aliases and system variables by using the keyboard. You can also repeat the previous command by pressing Enter or Spacebar without entering a command.

Dynamic Input and Auto-complete Command Entry

- User Interaction
Design Center
- Design Center provides a graphic interface where you can manipulate and re-use drawings and their objects (blocks, layers, external references, and customized contents) from drawing files, network drives, and Internet locations. This way, you can speed up drawing constructing.
- User Interaction
Layer Properties Manager
- Layer properties manager displays a list of the layers in the drawing and their properties. You can add, delete, and rename layers, change their properties, set property overrides for layout viewports, or add layer descriptions and apply changes in real time.

- User Interaction
Layer States Manager
- Layer states manager enables you save the current property settings for layers in a named layer state and then restore those settings later.
- User Interaction
