Just installed AutoCad 2009 - looks vastly different to 2008.
I liked the way I had 2008 set up and liked the old favourite of mine, the drop down menus along the top, that most programs still have.
I have fiddled about with 2009 and seen the workspaces.
As my workspace preference can I still customise the screen to retain the typical drop down menus (file, edit, view, insert, format, etc, I still have a couple of custom toolbars open as well.

Type the command MENUBAR and option 1 to turn on the old menu bar.

Thanks roger24865 - can't be any easier than that !
