This function has not be brought over to AutoCAD for Mac, due to the need for more controls, and more complex controls ( rather than simple on/off toggles ) this was not possible or desirable. In general relying on icons rather than text makes the UI more durable and easier to translate in to the many languages that our users require. If you hover over the icons and controls in the status bar you can see the tooltips that identify what the control is if you are unfamiliar with the icon.
