Creating a Custom Toolbar
In this Tip Sheet we will explore creating a custom toolbar using existing AutoCAD commands.

First, right-click on any toolbar button and select
Customize… from the menu.

Make sure the Toolbars tab is in front and left-click on the New… button.

Type in the name of your new toolbar and left-click on the OK button.

A blank toolbar will be created and placed on the screen.

Next, left-click on the Commands tab to add buttons from the command button library.

To add commands, just left-click on the command group and drag the button to the new toolbar.  For instance, to add Circle Center Diameter, left-click on the Draw category, scroll to the Circle Center Diameter command and drag it to your new toolbar.

Go ahead and drag a few more commands to your toolbar.

Placing a Divider
If you have a number of buttons in a toolbar, you may want to place divider between different groups of commands.  To add a divider, just left-click, hold and drag a button to the side.

When you're finished customizing your toolbar, left-click on the
Close button.

Next month we'll explore creating a toolbar flyout.
