Autocad - Customize & Modify

When learning Autocad, it i important to be familiar with the basic toolbars and learning them can be tedious given the numerous icons and tools that you see when you open a window.

We were taught to click and drag toolbars into the main main layout just to see and familiarize ourselves with them. Also, you can disable toolbars that you don't need to unclutter your work space. This is helpful for beginners like me, who is easily confused by the icons in an Autocad layout area.

This can be done by clicking the Customize Menu and checking the toolbars you would want to use and you're more comfortable with. They do have keyboard options or shorcut keys, but based on experience this is way easier.
