Small changes that can make a big difference to your daily workflow.\u00a0<\/span>Whether\u00a0you’re\u00a0producing architectural drawings, engineering layouts or construction documentation, the way\u00a0<\/span>AutoCAD<\/a>\u00a0is configured can have a significant impact on how efficiently you work.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the biggest misconceptions we hear is that customising AutoCAD requires programming knowledge.\u00a0Many\u00a0of the most useful productivity improvements are built directly into the software and can be configured in just a few clicks.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If\u00a0you’re\u00a0looking to work faster, reduce repetitive tasks and create a workspace that suits the way you work, here are ten simple AutoCAD customisations worth trying.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” column_structure=”3_5,2_5″][et_pb_column _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”default” type=”3_5″ theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_heading title=”Personalise Your Quick Access Toolbar” _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” title_level=”h2″ hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_heading][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]

The\u00a0<\/span>Quick Access Toolbar (QAT)<\/span><\/i>\u00a0sits at the top of AutoCAD and provides instant access to your most\u00a0frequently\u00a0used commands.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Instead of searching through Ribbon tabs every time you need a command, you can add the tools you use most often with a simple right-click. Likewise, removing commands you never use helps keep your workspace clean and focused.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For users who rely on a core set of tools every day, this small adjustment can save hundreds of clicks over the course of a project.<\/span><\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”default” type=”2_5″ theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/tms-scotland.com\/autodesk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/08\/10-Tips_1.jpg” _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” title_text=”AD-10-Tips_1″ hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″ width=”91%” align=”center” custom_padding=”68px||||false|false”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” column_structure=”3_5,2_5″][et_pb_column _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”default” type=”3_5″ theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_heading title=”Maximise Your Drawing Area with Clean Screen” _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” title_level=”h2″ hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_heading][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]

When\u00a0you’re\u00a0working on detailed drawings, every bit of screen space counts.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

AutoCAD’s Clean Screen<\/span><\/i>\u00a0mode hides the Ribbon,\u00a0palettes\u00a0and other interface elements, allowing your drawing to take centre stage. Simply\u00a0<\/span>press CTRL + 0<\/span><\/b>\u00a0to switch into Clean Screen mode and press it again to return to your normal workspace.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This is particularly useful when reviewing complex models or working on smaller displays.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”default” type=”2_5″ theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/tms-scotland.com\/autodesk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/08\/10-Tips_2.jpg” _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” title_text=”10-Tips_2″ align=”center” custom_padding=”73px||||false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” column_structure=”3_5,2_5″ custom_padding=”||4px|||”][et_pb_column _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”default” type=”3_5″ theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_heading title=” Keep Palettes Accessible Without Getting in the Way” _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” title_level=”h2″ hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_heading][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]

Tool palettes<\/span><\/i>\u00a0such as\u00a0<\/span>Properties<\/span><\/b>,\u00a0<\/span>Layers<\/span><\/b>\u00a0and\u00a0<\/span>External References<\/span><\/b>\u00a0are invaluable, but they\u00a0don’t\u00a0need to occupy valuable screen space all day.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

By anchoring palettes to either side of your workspace, they collapse into slim tabs that expand only when you need them. This keeps your drawing area uncluttered while ensuring important tools\u00a0remain\u00a0only a mouse hover away.<\/span><\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”default” type=”2_5″ theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/tms-scotland.com\/autodesk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/08\/10-Tips_3.jpg” _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” title_text=”10-Tips_3″ width=”75%” align=”center” custom_padding=”70px||||false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” column_structure=”3_5,2_5″][et_pb_column _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”default” type=”3_5″ theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_heading title=”Make Better Use of Right-Click Menus” _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” title_level=”h2″ hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_heading][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]

Many users still use the right mouse button simply as an Enter key, but AutoCAD’s contextual right-click menus can speed up common\u00a0tasks considerably.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you prefer using right-click to repeat commands, AutoCAD offers time-sensitive right-click. A quick click behaves as Enter, while holding the button slightly longer opens the contextual menu, giving you the best of both approaches.<\/span><\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”default” type=”2_5″ theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/tms-scotland.com\/autodesk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/08\/10-Tips_4.jpg” _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” title_text=”10-Tips_4″ align=”center” custom_padding=”48px||||false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” column_structure=”3_5,2_5″][et_pb_column _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”default” type=”3_5″ theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_heading title=”Create Your Own Command Aliases” _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” title_level=”h2″ hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_heading][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]

Command aliases are one of the simplest ways to speed up\u00a0every day\u00a0drafting.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

AutoCAD stores these shortcuts in the\u00a0acad.pgp\u00a0file, allowing you to\u00a0modify\u00a0existing aliases or create your own.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For example, if\u00a0there’s\u00a0a command you use constantly but\u00a0don’t\u00a0like the default shortcut, you can assign one\u00a0that’s\u00a0easier to remember. Many experienced users position their most-used aliases around the left-hand side of the keyboard, allowing them to keep one hand on the mouse while launching commands with the other.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

These small improvements quickly add up across hundreds of commands every day.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”default” type=”2_5″ theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/tms-scotland.com\/autodesk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/08\/10-Tips_5.jpg” _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” title_text=”10-Tips_5″ width=”92%” align=”center” custom_padding=”70px||||false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” column_structure=”3_5,2_5″][et_pb_column _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”default” type=”3_5″ theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_heading title=”Save Frequently Used Project Locations” _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” title_level=”h2″ hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_heading][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]

If you regularly browse through the same project folders, AutoCAD’s\u00a0<\/span>Places feature<\/span><\/i>\u00a0can save valuable time.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Within the Open or Save dialog, you can add commonly used folders to the Places panel, allowing you to jump directly to them instead of navigating through multiple folder levels each time.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It’s\u00a0a simple feature that becomes increasingly valuable when managing multiple live projects.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”default” type=”2_5″ theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/tms-scotland.com\/autodesk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/08\/10-Tips_6.jpg” _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” title_text=”10-Tips_6″ align=”center” custom_padding=”64px||||false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” column_structure=”3_5,2_5″][et_pb_column _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”default” type=”3_5″ theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_heading title=”Reduce Ribbon Clutter” _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” title_level=”h2″ hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_heading][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]

The AutoCAD\u00a0<\/span>Ribbon<\/span><\/i>\u00a0doesn’t\u00a0have to occupy\u00a0a large portion\u00a0of your screen.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You can minimise it to show only tabs, panel titles or buttons while\u00a0retaining\u00a0full functionality. This creates a cleaner workspace and leaves more room for your drawings without sacrificing quick access to commands.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”default” type=”2_5″ theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/tms-scotland.com\/autodesk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/08\/10-Tips_7.jpg” _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” title_text=”10-Tips_7″ align=”center” custom_padding=”62px||||false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” column_structure=”3_5,2_5″][et_pb_column _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”default” type=”3_5″ theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_heading title=”Work Across Multiple Drawings with Floating Windows ” _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” title_level=”h2″ hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_heading][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]

If you regularly compare drawings or work across multiple monitors, floating drawing windows can make your workflow much more efficient.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Simply drag a drawing tab away from the main AutoCAD window to create a separate floating editor. Each floating drawing has its own Command Line while still allowing access to the main Ribbon and Quick Access Toolbar.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For users reviewing revisions or coordinating between multiple files, this feature can significantly improve productivity.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”default” type=”2_5″ theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/tms-scotland.com\/autodesk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/08\/10-Tips_8.gif” _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” title_text=”10-Tips_8″ align=”center” custom_padding=”99px||||false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” column_structure=”3_5,2_5″][et_pb_column _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”default” type=”3_5″ theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_heading title=” Create Different Workspaces for Different Tasks” _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” title_level=”h2″ hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_heading][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]

Not every project requires the same tools.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>If you alternate between 2D drafting, 3D modelling, detailing or industry-specific workflows, creating multiple workspaces allows AutoCAD to present only the tools relevant to the task\u00a0you’re\u00a0performing.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Switching between saved workspaces can help reduce distractions and improve efficiency throughout the working day.<\/span><\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”default” type=”2_5″ theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/tms-scotland.com\/autodesk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/08\/10-Tips_9-1024×250-1.jpg” _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” title_text=”10-Tips_9-1024×250″ hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″ custom_padding=”89px||||false|false”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” column_structure=”3_5,2_5″][et_pb_column _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”default” type=”3_5″ theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_heading title=”Customise the Command Line” _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” title_level=”h2″ hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_heading][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]

The Command Line<\/span><\/i>\u00a0has evolved into much more than a place to type commands.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Using the settings available from the Command Line’s configuration options, you can customise search behaviour, command\u00a0history\u00a0and input preferences to better match the way you work.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Taking a few minutes to configure these settings can make AutoCAD feel far more responsive to your personal workflow.<\/span><\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”default” type=”2_5″ theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/tms-scotland.com\/autodesk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/08\/10-Tips_10.jpg” _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” title_text=”10-Tips_10″ custom_padding=”65px||||false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”default” type=”4_4″ theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_heading title=”Small Changes, Big Productivity Gains ” _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” title_level=”h2″ hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_heading][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]

Improving productivity in AutoCAD\u00a0doesn’t\u00a0always require advanced automation or custom programming. Many of the most effective enhancements are already built into the software- you simply need to tailor them to the way you work.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
