Using workspaces

Workspaces are a convenient way to customize the display of commands in the IntelliCAD main window. Each workspace stores visibility settings for the following:

    Menus Visibility settings are saved for each top-level menu (for example, the Draw menu) and each nested menu (for example, the Draw > Arc submenu).

    Toolbars Visibility settings are saved for each toolbar, its orientation at the top, bottom, left, right, or floating, number of button rows, x-coordinate, and y-coordinate.

    Ribbon For progeCAD versions that have a ribbon, visibility settings are saved for whether the ribbon itself displays, along with visibility settings for each ribbon tab (for example, the Home tab) and each panel (for example, Home > Modify).

Use a shortcut to make more space for drawing in the progeCAD main window.
Click Clean Screen On/Off on the status bar to hide multiple user interface items at the same time. To customize what hides (or displays), right-click the icon and make your selections for the next time you click the icon.
