Main Toolbar


You will find this toolbar on the left side of the screen. Most of its icons do not activate the commands. However certain commands defining entity style can be activated using a double click.

This toolbar should be mainly considered as a means to access the sub-toolbar or to toggle between different work contexts when the dynamic workspace mode is active.

HINT: For more information see the following section: "Dynamic workspace axiom"
The following table summarizes the actions associated to each of the toolbar buttons:

Work mode sensibility

The main toolbar can change or even disappear depending on the current work mode (Render, DSG, Viewing, etc..) It is replaced by another main toolbar showing commands or groups of commands valid for that particular mode.
