Toolbars
Toolbar customization can be as easy as placing or resizing a toolbar in the
application window to gain drawing efficiency or space. You can also create
and modify toolbars and flyout toolbars, add commands and controls, and
reposition and remove commands and controls from a toolbar.Create and Edit Toolbars
Some of the simplest toolbar customizations can make your daily drawing
tasks more efficient. For example, you can consolidate frequently used
commands and controls onto one toolbar, remove buttons that you never
use, or change some simple toolbar properties.You can also specify information to be displayed when the cursor passes over
a button in the form of a tooltip.You can add buttons or remove buttons you use infrequently, and rearrange
buttons and toolbars. You can also create your own toolbars and flyout
toolbars, and create or change the button image associated with a command.
When creating a toolbar, you can create a toolbar from scratch, create a copy
of an existing toolbar, or create a toolbar from an existing pull-down menu.
Sub-menu items are not included when a toolbar is created from a pull-down
menu.NOTEWhen you create a toolbar, you should determine in which workspaces
you want to display the toolbar. By default, a new toolbar is displayed in all
workspaces.The following table shows the properties of the Standard toolbar as they appear
