from the Tool Sets palette. Each tool group is a maximum of two tools wide
and has two different display states: collapsed and expanded.
Position the cursor over a tool on the Tool Sets palette and click to use it. If
the tool is a flyout (or drop-down), click and hold the button on the pointer
device, and release over the tool you want to use.
Tools are not the only interactions that you will interact on the Tool Sets
palette. When the cursor is positioned over a tool group, a disclosure triangle
might appear that indicates the tool group can be expanded. Click the
disclosure triangle to expand the panel to access additional tools. After a tool
group is expanded, click the Lock icon to keep the tool group from collapsing.

Create and Manage Tool Sets
Tool sets are created to organize tool groups on the Tool Sets palette. AutoCAD
for Mac comes with three tool sets that are used to organize drafting,
annotation, and modeling tools. You create and manage tool sets on the Tool
Sets tab of the Customize dialog box. After a tool set is created, you click the
Tool Sets button near the top of the Tool Sets palette to set it current and use
the commands and flyouts (drop-downs) assigned to it.
Tool Groups
Tool sets are often made up of multiple tool groups which are used to organize
commands and flyouts (drop-downs). Each tool group is divided into two
different parts, commands that are displayed by default and those that are
displayed when the tool group is expanded.
You insert a separator to divide a tool group into the two parts, by default a
tool group is not divided. Tools above the separator are those displayed by
default. When using the Tool Sets palette, click the disclosure triangle to
expand a tool group so you can access the tools that are hidden by default.
Click the Lock icon when the tool group is expanded to keep the tool group
from collapsing.
The order tool groups are displayed on the Tool Sets palette are controlled by
the Customize dialog box. Drag a tool set up or down on the Tool Sets tab to
change the order it appears on the Tool Sets palette.
