Datasheet

Hold down the left mouse button with the cursor on the right edge of
the toolbar, and drag the arrow to the left until the rectangle changes
shape. Release the mouse button.
You can reshape and reposition each floating toolbar to fit on the
drawing area just as you want it. You won’t need the Zoom toolbar
just now, so you’ll remove it.
3. Move the cursor to the title bar, and click the box with an X in it to
close the Zoom toolbar.
Floating toolbars don’t affect the size of the drawing area, but they cover your
drawing. Each row or column of docked toolbars takes up space that would other-
wise be drawing area. You have to decide how many docked and floating toolbars
you need on the screen at a time. A good way to start is to leave the Standard, Lay-
ers, and Properties toolbars docked on the top of the screen and the Draw and
Modify toolbars docked on the left side of the screen.
If your toolbars are positioned as shown in Figure 1.12, continue with the next
section. If these toolbars are in another location on the drawing area or not visible,
try the steps you used in this section to dock them on the top and left sides of the
drawing area. If the toolbars aren’t visible, right-click any visible toolbar button,
and choose the toolbar you need. Then, drag the toolbar to the left side or top of
the drawing area to dock it. Here are the positions I recommend for the five tool-
bars you should dock on your screen:

At the top, just under the menu bar, dock the Standard toolbar.

Below that, on the left side, dock the Layers toolbar.

To the right of the Layers toolbar, dock the Properties toolbar.

On the left side, dock the Draw toolbar.

Next to the Draw toolbar, dock the Modify toolbar.
