Table 1.1 defines all the Quick Access toolbar icons available for the different file types.
Table 1.1: Quick Access toolbar icons
Icon Definition
The New icon launches the New File dialog box. The drop-down list allows you to cre-
ate a new part, assembly, drawing, or presentation file using the standard templates.
The Open icon launches the Open dialog box. It displays a location 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 removed 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
dialog 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 one 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 updated 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 over-
ride 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.
