FiGuRE 1.10 The Ribbon, Quick Access toolbar, and InfoCenter
the title bar and
menu bar at the top
of the autoCaD Lt
screen are identical
to those in autoCaD
except that AutoCAD
LT appears in the
title bar rather than
AutoCAD .
To the far right of the title bar is the InfoCenter containing the Search,
Subscription Center, Communication Center, Favorites, and Help buttons. You can
enter a question in the field to the left of the Search button to access information
from a number of locations including the standard AutoCAD help system quickly
through the drop-down panel. With the Communication Center, you can choose
to have information, such as software updates, product support, or websites such
as blogs using Really Simple Syndication (RSS) feeds, sent directly to your system.
With the Favorites tool, you can define a list of help or informational topics that
can be quickly accessed whenever you need them. The Help button is a direct link
to the AutoCAD help system (also accessible by pressing the F1 key).
The blank middle section of the screen is called the drawing area. Notice the
movable crosshair cursor (see Figure 1.11). The crosshairs on your cursor might
extend completely across the screen. Later in this chapter, you'll see how to
modify the length of the crosshairs as well as make a few other changes.
