Autocad:Controlling the Display of Controls on the Status Bar

For this exercise, open a drawing (a new one or one from a previous exercise). Practice
controlling the display of controls on the status bar.
1. On the right side of the status bar area, click the Status Bar Menu button
(located to the left of the Clean Screen icon).
2. Select the controls that you want to display or hide on the status bar.
The items selected are displayed, and the ones that aren’t selected are currently
hidden. It’s a good idea to display only the controls that you frequently use.
Status bar tray
On the right side of the status bar is an area called the status bar tray. The status bar
tray provides access, via an icon, to features that you’re currently using in the active
drawing or AutoCAD. When the icon for a feature is displayed, you can click or rightclick
the icon to access settings and other options for the feature. As you work in a
drawing, certain situations cause a notification balloon to be displayed. The notification
balloon lets you know when you’ve done something that affects your drawing,
such as adding a new layer that doesn’t match the current set of CAD standards or
completing a background plot. You can control the display of many of the icons or
toggle on and off the display of the status bar tray.
