UI — THE USER INTERFACE

—

an acronym that is thrown

around a lot. Just for a moment, don’t think of it as

just those two letters. The UI is what comes between

you (the user) and it (the essentially incomprehen-

sible computer). The UI lets you interact with the

inner workings of the machine, ideally in an intuitive

fashion.

Unlike an automobile with a manual transmission,

whose stick-shift and clutch are parts of its perma-

nent UI, your computer’s UI is highly customizable.

You don’t like a stick-shift? Click here, and you have

an automatic.

The AutoCAD UI is important. Many people gloss over

it, thinking the real meat is in using tools and getting

the job done. That may be so, but if you’re ever going

to enjoy the dining experience, you need to pay atten-

tion to how you access and work with the tools.
