What are the benefits of selecting task-based tools?

Workspaces control which task-based tools are displayed in the application
window and when they are displayed. You can create different workspaces
based on the types of drawings you work on. For more information about
customizing the user interface and workspaces, see Work with the Customize
User Interface (CUI) Editor and Customize Workspaces in the Customization
Guide.

What is a workspace?

Workspaces are sets of menus, toolbars, palettes, and ribbon control panels
that are grouped and organized so that you can work in a custom, task-oriented
drawing environment. When you use a workspace, only the menus, toolbars,
and palettes that are relevant to a task are displayed. For more information
about customizing workspaces, see Customize Workspaces in the Customization
Guide.

How do I make changes to a workspace at a later time?

Workspaces are used to control many of the tools displayed in the Application
window of AutoCAD. You can modify the current workspace in a limited way
from the Application window or you have full control over all aspects of a
workspace with the Customize User Interface (CUI) Editor. For more
information about customizing workspaces, see Customize Workspaces in the
Customization Guide.
