Pull-down menus take up the least amount of space in the application frame of AutoCAD of all user interface elements, while providing access to a wide range of commands.
You can add commands to a pull-down menu for easy to access to it from the menu bar, while not losing a large amount of space on the screen. Commands on a pull-down menu can be displayed as a single item or as a grouping of items with a submenu. Pull-down menus must be added to a workspace in order for them to be displayed on the menu bar. For more information about pull-down menu customization, see Create a Pull-Down Menu.
