Express Tools: Holds an invaluable set of custom commands that streamline your work procedures in pretty well every aspect of AutoCAD. The Express Tools are created when a programmer says, “Hey, how about if we try …” The tools often serve as the final beta-test version of new features that sometimes are incorporated directly into later releases. They’re officially unsupported, but they are installed with AutoCAD 2023 automatically and most work well. Express Tools are not available in AutoCAD LT. In earlier versions of AutoCAD you may need to install them separately with the Setup program.
Getting with the Program
Like all good Windows programs, AutoCAD has tooltips, those short descriptions that appear in little text boxes whenever you hover the mouse pointer over a button. In AutoCAD, tooltips display two levels of information. When you first hover the mouse pointer over a tool button, you see a short identification of the command. When you continue hovering, a longer description of the icon’s function, often with a descriptive image, appears in an extended tooltip. As helpful as they are when you’re starting with AutoCAD, you’ll probably want to remove these training wheels sooner or later because they cover up some of your drawing. You can do so in the Options dialog box. See the online Help system for more information.
