Table 1.1: Quick Access Toolbar Icons
Icon Definition
The New icon launches the New File dialog box. The drop-down allows you to
create a new part, assembly, drawing, or presentation file using the standard
templates.
The Open icon launches the Open dialog box. It displays a locati on defined in
your active project.
The Save icon saves the file.
The Undo icon undoes the last action. The Undo list tracks changes for the
current Inventor session, not just the current document. If you have two part
files open, this icon will undo changes that are made in both files. Undo will
also ‘‘close’’ files, if your undo sequence takes you back past the point of a
file being opened or created.
The Redo icon restores a change that was r emoved with Undo. It will
‘‘reopen’’ a file that was ‘‘closed’’ with Undo.
The Open From Vault icon opens a file in your Vault.
The Print icon launches the Print dialog box. Drawings have a special Print
Drawing d ialog box with more controls.
The iProperties icon launches an Inventor file properties dialog box.
The Projects icon launches a dialog box to manage project files. Project files
are used to help maintain references between files. You can have only o ne
active project at a time, and you can’t switch projects when a file is open.
The Return icon switches from the current environment to the previous one.
For example, if you are editing a part in an assembly, Return will take you
back to the assembly environment.
The Update icon updates the files. For example, if you edit a part in an
assembly, other parts might need to be upda ted because of the changes. It is
grayed out unless the file needs to be refreshed.
The Select icon allows you to choose a filter for object selection.
The Color Override setting allows you to change the display color. This is a
local override and does not change the component. For example, if you place
a bolt in an assembly and change the color to Gold, the next bolt you place
will still have the original color.
The Design Doctor icon launches a dialog box that helps you diagnose and
repair issues with a file. It is grayed out unless there is an issue.
The Update All Sheets icon is used in the drawing environment to update all
the sheets in a drawing a t once.
