Toolbars
Autodesk Navisworks toolbars provide quick access to frequently used commands.
Every button on a toolbar includes a tooltip, which describes the function the button activates. Placing the
mouse over a button displays a brief instruction on how to use this feature in the Status bar.
You can rearrange, open and close toolbars:
■ To move a toolbar, click the dotted line at the edge of the toolbar, and drag it to a different location.
■ To open or close toolbars, right-click an empty area next to the last toolbar on the screen, and choose from
the list of available toolbars on the shortcut menu.
