The Source plug-in is a value-added plug-in for AutoCAD that can help designers draw graphics. The Source plug-in allows designers to use more functions when operating AutoCAD software, such as section drawing, modular generation of construction drawings, and block insertion. The source plug-in allows designers to have a more efficient and faster drawing environment. Next, let Huajun editor introduce to you how to bring up the cad source plug-in toolbar, and how to use the cad source plug-in shortcut keys!

1. How to bring up the source cad plug-in toolbar

first step

After downloading and installing the source cad plug-in from this site, double-click to open it.

Method one

Open the CAD program, select "Tools" in the menu bar, double-click "Options"; select "Plug-ins", in the plug-in tab, find the Source CAD plug-in, click the "Settings" button, and the "Toolbar" will usually appear in the settings window

Method two

If the CAD toolbar disappears during use, use the shortcut keys to redisplay it. In CAD, toolbars can usually be turned on or off by pressing "Ctrl + 0", "Ctrl + 2" or "Ctrl + 9". You can try these shortcut keys in sequence to see if they restore the toolbar.

Method three

Switch environments. For example, the CAD working environment is "Sketch and Annotation". You can first switch it to other working environments such as "CAD Classic" and try switching back to "Sketch and Annotation".

Method four

In addition to checking the menu bar, we can also try using shortcut keys to open or close the toolbar. Use "Ctrl+F" to turn on or off the floating toolbar, "Ctrl+H" to turn on or off the grid, "Ctrl+A" to select all objects. Try to see if the toolbar can be restored.
