CreatingTheAutoCADClassicWorkspaceinAutoCAD2016

I was asked by a student last week, what had happened to the AutoCAD Classic Workspace. He was not a frequent user of AutoCAD, and had recently upgraded to 2016. I
informed him that the workspace beloved by so many had been on the chopping block for a few years before Autodesk nally killed it in the 2015 release of AutoCAD. [caption

release of AutoCAD, the Classic workspace has been retired.[/caption] This conversation reminded me that it would be a great idea to post how to re-create the AutoCAD Classic
Workspace, on my blog. So here goes... If you are accustomed to using AutoCAD from within the Classic workspace, then it really isn't dicult to re-create. There are several
simple steps that only take about 5 minutes to complete. The rst step is to make visible your menu bar. [caption id="attachment_9392" align="aligncenter" width="464"]

Click on the down-arrow in the workspace tab. Select Show Menu Bar.[/caption] Next,

click on Tools in the Menu Bar, select Toolbars > AutoCAD > , and then select each toolbar that belongs in the AutoCAD Classic set, including the Tool Pallette. If you have
customized your AutoCAD Classic workspace previously, then you can continue to add the necessary toolbars to complete your workspace customization. [caption

of the Classic workspace toolbars are highlighted.[/caption] [caption id="attachment_9395" align="aligncenter" width="1024"]

The image above shows the AutoCAD classic workspace.[/caption] Once you have selected all of the toolbars and pallettes that you will use to dene your AutoCAD Classic
workspace, the last step is to save the workspace. [caption id="attachment_9396" align="aligncenter" width="489"]

Save the workspace, giving it the name you choose (hint: AutoCAD Classic).

[/caption] To save the workspace, simply click in the workspace tab and select Save Current As... In the resulting dialog box, simply enter the name you wish to use and click Save.
As you can see, the AutoCAD Classic workspace will be around for as long as you like, you just have to manage it yourself.
