Menu Bar

The Menu bar contains file operations (File), drawing (Draw), editing commands (Edit), assistant tools (Tools), settings (Settings), views (View), window-system (Window) and user-guides (Help).

Menu commands having icons next to their names can be organized in Toolbars around the Application window. Some commands can be executed by hotkey displayed behind the command name.

Toolbars

The Menu bar commands can be grouped in toolbars with their icons and placed next to Application window.

By default, the Standard and the View toolbars are displayed and the other toolbars are hidden. If you right-click anywhere on the menu or on one of the displayed toolbars, a list appears, where toolbars can be set visible or hidden.

Customize… allows you to edit the command content of the toolbar, on which the right-click is used. A toolbar can be moved into new position by dragging it with its “thick vertical line” start.

Tabmenus

Tabmenus contain the main functionalities and their order displays the recommended structural design workflow.
