Hey Redliner:
Sorry to take so much time to reply.
Well, as I told, the customization of the interfase is useful to keep the right tools at hand.
The icon toolbars you see in the upper side of the screen, are able to be located anywhere in the screen, you just drag and drop them.
If you right click a icon, you'll see a list popping up, that is a list of available toolbars. You can choose any one of them, it'll appear in the upper left side of the drawing editing screen. Then, you can move it wherever you like.
For example, I use the Draw and Edit tool bars at the left side of the screen. The zooming and viewing ones at the right, the dimensioning one at the bottom and the standard (open, save, copy, paste, etc.)and the properties one at the top.
Also, in the main menu, you'll find in Tools>Customize, a dialog box with the following items:
Menu, Toolbars, Keyboard, Alias
You can set there the Keyboard shortcuts as you wish, and the Aliases too.
For example, I learned to use ACAD in one of its older versions, no graphic interphase was available, so I use the keyboard shortcuts very often. If you're new to ICAD, you can get use to use extensively the icons instead of keyboard.
If you make any change, and don't like, you might use the RESET button. In the other hand, you like it so much and would like to keep it, you might save it to a file.
Well, these are just a hints, if you'd like to know more, you can go to the IntelliCAD manual.
And of course, you can ask here anytime.
Keep in touch...

The best method I know is to use a digitizing tablet. The "help" menu tells you how to write down the commands in the tablet. From there on drafting is a breeze...
