How to Use Menus
Quick answer: The menu bar is hidden by default in every BricsCAD workspace. When it’s visible, its content changes depending on which workspace you’re in, since menus are one of the things a workspace controls. Toggle it by right-clicking a toolbar or ribbon panel and choosing Menu Bar, or by setting the MENUBAR system variable directly.
Showing or Hiding the Menu Bar
- Hover your cursor over a toolbar or ribbon panel.
- Right-click and choose Menu Bar from the context menu.
You can also toggle it by setting the MENUBAR system variable directly, useful if you’re scripting your BricsCAD setup rather than clicking through the UI.
