Right-click on the drawing area and pick Options…, then pick the Display tab. Many of you will want a black background, of course. However, getting the contents exactly the way you want it usually involves using CUI, and that’s well outside the scope of this post. As before, you can right-click on things to change the various settings. Now you can place and size your Dashboard-like thing as you see fit. In the tab title row (the bar with the word Home in it), right-click and pick Undock. If the Ribbon is not visible (it won’t be if you just selected the AutoCAD Classic workspace), enter RIBBON to bring it back. The Dashboard is gone, but you can have a vertical Ribbon instead. Click on it and pick the item called AutoCAD Classic. In the bottom right corner there is a little button that looks like a gearwheel. However, there’s an easier way just switch workspaces. You can turn menus on with MENUBAR 1, close the Ribbon with RIBBONCLOSE, and so on. Let’s assume you’ve made the decision to go back to the future how do you do it? I think you should give any new features a fighting chance before turning them off or ignoring them, but that’s entirely your choice. One thing that’s regularly asked whenever a new AutoCAD release hits the streets is how to make it work like the last release. If you’re running a more recent release of AutoCAD, have a look at the post AutoCAD 2017 – Putting things back to “normal” instead.
Note: there are updated versions of this post for AutoCAD 2010, 20.
