Tool Bar

The main tool bar, located under the menu bar on the main window, has buttons for commonly used commands. Each button on the tool bar corresponds to a submenu selection from the menu bar. For example, the [Project Wizard] tool bar button corresponds to the [Project Wizard] command in the [Project] menu.

Hovering the mouse over a tool bar button will show a tool tip which briefly describes the command. For example, when the mouse pointer is over the "Project Wizard" tool bar button, the tool tip displays "Creates a new project."

You can add or remove command buttons on the tool bar by clicking the [Add or Remove Buttons] dropdown arrow button, and then select [Main Toolbar]. Next, click the command you want to add or remove. All tool bar command buttons have fixed positions. Adding and removing tool bar buttons is equivalent to showing or hiding the buttons.
