AUTOCAD Flashcards
IS A COMPUTER-AIDED AND DRAFTING SOFTWARE DEVELOPED BY AUTODESK MEDIA AND ENTERTAINMENT FOR CREATING 2D DRAWINGS AND 3D CONCEPTUAL DESIGN. IT IS USED ACROSS A WIDE RANGE OF INDUSTRIES, BY ARCHITECTS, PROJECT MANAGERS, AND MANY PROFFESSIONAL.
AUTOCAD
IS DISPLAYED BY DEFAULT AT STARTUP. PROVIDING EASY ACCESS TO A VARIETY OF INITIAL ACTIONS, INCLUDING ACCESS TO DRAWING TEMPLATE FILES, RECENTLY OPENED DRAWINGS AND SHEETS SETS, AND ONLINE LEARNING OPTIONS.

VALUE 2
STARTUP:
WHAT IS THE VALUE OF STARTUP THAT THE START TAB IS DISPLAYED AND THE RIBBON IS PRE-LOADED WHEN YOU OPEN OR CREATE NEW DRAWING?
VALUE 3
IT IS A CUSTOM, TASK-ORIENTED DRAWING ENVIRONMENT. IT IS A SET OF MENUS, TOOLBARS, PALETTES, AND RIBBON CONTROL PANELS THAT ARE GROUPED AND ORGANIZED SO THAT YOU CAN WORK IN A SPECIFIC WAY. IT ALLOWS YOU TO CONTROL THE DISPLAY AND POSITION OF MOST UI ELEMENTS WITHIN THE AUTOCAD APPLICATION WINDOW.
