AutoCAD 2007

Opening Screen
By default, when you start an AutoCAD 2007 session, a dialog box (see
Figure 2-1) asks in which of the two standard workspaces you want to start
your drawing session:
3D Modeling: Opens a new drawing file configured for a 3D modeling
environment with navigation, visualization, and modeling tools suitable
for working in 3D.
AutoCAD Classic: Opens a new drawing configured for a 2D drafting
environment, with drafting and drawing management tools suitable for
working in 2D.
A workspace is a collection of menus, palettes, and toolbars tailored for spe-
cific tasks, such as 3D modeling or 2D drafting. AutoCAD 2007 includes two
workspaces for just those purposes, called 3D Modeling and AutoCAD Classic,
and you can easily create additional workspaces to suit your requirements.
For more information, look up "workspace" in the online help system.

Will that be
2D or 3D?
