Architectural Desktop 2006 Application Status Bar

We always hear about shortcuts when trying to find a command and for the most part it is right in front of us. At the bottom of your AutoCAD screen below the COMMAND line you will see the Application Status Bar.

The application status bar gives you quick access to these settings: (sorry about the graphic but I had to split it)

1. Cursor coordinate values: Controls the coordinate format as either relative or absolute.
2. Snap*
3. Ortho: On/Off
4. Polar Tracking*

10. Elevation: Select a level for the calculation of the elevation offset.
