Quick Start

■ On each tab, you can change the order of ribbon panels. Click the panel
to move, drag it to the appropriate position, and release.
■ You can hide panels. Right-click a tab and chose which panels to display.
Glyphs and Manipulators
As you use Inventor Fusion, you specify modes of operation, range limits, and
other options. Since the Inventor Fusion user interface does not employ dialog
boxes, there are other access modes to set these options:
■ The ribbon
■ Glyphs
■ Manipulators
The Ribbon on page 4 is discussed in another section.
Glyphs
As you use commands in Inventor Fusion, symbols or glyphs, often appear
next to the cursor. Glyphs indicate that you can select a mode of operation,
or that certain commands are available for use.
Click and hold a glyph to display the options for the active command. Drag
the cursor to the appropriate option and release to select it. If you pause the
cursor over a glyph, a commandtip displays more information about the glyph.
The most frequently used glyphs are in the following table:
