Toggle Ribbon in AutoCAD

Ribbon started in AutoCAD 2009, a consolidated location for nearly all the AutoCAD tools in the form of easily recognizable buttons. A set of tabs delineates the different collections of tools by their purposes: creating and editing objects, adding notes and dimensions, sending the drawing to a printer or plotter, and so on.

Do you know how to toggle the ribbon? Is there a shortcut for this? Yes it’s hidden =) some cad user it’s their secret, Nah.

Here’s the tip:
1. If you’re using MENUBAR, turn it off like a switch (another smiley), type MENUBAR in your command line and set to 0 (zero).

2. Press ALT. The *KeyTips are displayed over each feature that is available in the current view. See image below.



3. Next to express tools tab, a two triangles and filleted rectangle. As displayed x2 is for minimize to panel titles, press alt x2 to go back in normal ribbon while x3 is to expand the options available for displaying ribbon.


* “KeyTips” from Microsoft word function using the ALT.
