I've been demoing the new features in the AutoCAD 2010 User Interface quite a bit lately and it occurred to me that the Quick Access Toolbar would be the perfect place to harbor the Layer list for quick access (hence the name!). The Quick Access Toolbar is always on the screen and super easy to get to. I don't want to have to go to the Home tab on the ribbon every time I need to switch layers - I want that drop-down list at my fingertips! (I've also heard other people mutter about this added inconvenience).
It is super easy to put the layer list on the Quick Access toolbar. Here are the steps.
1. Right click on the Layer drop-down list and select Add to Quick Access Toolbar
2. Enjoy your new easy to access tool!
3. Look...I don't know how much easier that can get! Give it a go if you are on AutoCAD 2009 or 2010 and you'll always have your layers at your fingertips!
I'm enjoying Columbus Day in Columbus! Week 2 of the AutoCAD 2010 See the Difference Tour is just starting. Shaan and I are going to wear pink this week in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month - I'll definitely send pictures!d
