Toolbars

Flexible Command Access and Professional Interface Design

The toolbar customization interface offers both predefined toolbar sets for common design tasks and advanced options for creating completely custom command arrangements. Users can drag and drop commands, create contextual toolbars that appear based on the active editor, and establish role-based interfaces for different team members working on the same project. This flexibility ensures that whether you're focused on schematic capture, PCB layout, or 3D visualization, the most relevant tools are always within immediate reach.

Custom Toolbar Creation and Command Organization

Build personalized toolbars by selecting from hundreds of available commands, arranging them logically, and creating themed groups that match specific design phases or component types for streamlined workflow execution.

Context-Sensitive Toolbar Management

Configure toolbars to automatically adapt based on the active editor mode, selected objects, or current design phase, ensuring that relevant commands are prominently displayed while irrelevant options remain hidden.

Team-Based Interface Standardization

Establish consistent toolbar configurations across design teams by exporting and sharing custom toolbar settings, enabling standardized workflows that improve collaboration efficiency and reduce training time for new team members.
