The ribbon

The ribbon is a set of tabbed toolbars, filled with tool buttons and other graphical control elements, grouped by functionality.

The content of the ribbon depends on the current workspace.

The Drafting, Modeling, Mechanical and BIM workspaces use the ribbon by default.

Use the RIBBON command and the RIBBONCLOSE command to open or close the ribbon.

Note: To display the new ribbon, set the USENEWRIBBON system variable to 1(ON).

Features available in the new ribbon:

  • Press and hold the left mouse button to open the drop-down menu on the flyout button.

  • You can change the ribbon active tab using the mouse wheel.
