Inquiry Panel

[momentumbob]

I am trying to customize the ribbons on AutoCAD 2016. I am upgrading from 2011.

I would like to add an "Inquiry" panel since I often use the mass properties function. I can't seem to find this panel. Does anyone know what it is now called ?

 

 

Thanks

I think it's called the Utilities panel now and it can be found on the Home tab of the 2D Drafting & Annotation workspace. However, you won't find MassProp on it and I don't think you'll find the panel in the 3D Modeling workspace.

That's a s far as I got myself. Autocad's salvation is the on-going ability to type on the command line. I can't believe that the function has been removed other than to type it in.

It's here, on the menu bar.

Sadly, in my 2016 version there does not appear to be a "Tools" tab.

O.K. I found the menu bar. All I have to do is figure out how to dock it on my screen and we're rockin'

 

 

Thanks Dana

Still on 2015 here, but click the AutoCAD icon in upper-left and enter mass in the Search box. It will list every way to access the command Ribbon or otherwise.

Menubar = 0 = no menubar

Menubar = 1 = yes menubar

Thanks, Dana. I like it when I get instructions that even I can follow.

Finding every location of a command macro Ribbon, Menu, Toolbar or otherwise is easy. In Civil 3D 2015 clicking the AutoCAD icon in upper-left and enter mass in the Search box displays:

Thanks Tombu

I am primarily an Inventor user so my AutoCAD skills are rusty/non-existent. I'm going to attempt some further customization with the help you have provided.
