DraftSight 2023 New Features: Contextual Ribbon Tabs

By

Access to the commands you need for your current workflow has been made easier in DraftSight 2023 with Contextual Ribbons.

 

Now, instead of a dialog box cluttering your editor, the Ribbon will display a new, active tab that is appropriate for your current task.

For example, instead of displaying the below dialog when you create or edit a Hatch or Fill, a temporary Ribbon tab (above) will be displayed with all the tools you are used to from the dialog.

If you select a Reference file, the Reference tab with its relevant tools is automatically added and set current. If you click on Dimension, the appropriate Dimension Ribbon tab is added. And to make your workflow even more efficient, many tools will update the entity you’re editing in real time.

The contextual tabs are automatically removed from the Ribbon when you complete your task, or you can close it and exit your command at any time with the Close panel on the far-right side of each contextual tab.

You can see all the currently available contextual Ribbon tabs from the Customize dialog box. Open the Interface panel and expand both the Ribbon and Contextual Tabs entries.

The Contextual Ribbon Tabs help to optimize your design workflow with the maximized viewing and working area. Now you can design faster with only relevant options displayed on the tab. We think you’ll like the improved workflow you’ll experience with Contextual Ribbon tabs.
