Being quite new on using the latest version of AutoCAD, you always have this  excitement when you discover something new or new tools that you haven’t been used in the previous version of AutoCAD. Just like when I discovered about this Dashboard on AutoCAD Architecture 2008.

This new tool called Dashboard seems like a collection of usefull toolbars, control panels that fitted into one panel. Using these new tool, will reduce the display of different toolbars and surely makes you maximise the available area of workspace in your monitor.

To Access the Dashboard manually; at the command prompt, type Dashboard and enter. Or click Window pulldown menu then  >>Dashboard<<.

You can either choose to use the default control panels displayed in the dashboard or specify which do you like to appear by right-clicking on the dashboard and >>control panels<< and checking the names of the available tools.

And this new feature of AutoCAD became my favorite.
