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.
When a Autodesk Navisworks toolbar button has a down-pointing arrow, such
as
, a submenu toolbar is associated with that choice. Click the triangle
to open the menu, and select a specific option. As you move through the
menu, additional help is displayed in the Status bar. When the option is
selected, it becomes the current command and is displayed as a button in the
toolbar. To repeat the command, click the button in the toolbar. To choose
a different command, click the triangle again.
Some toolbar buttons enable you to choose a program mode. For example, to
look around your model, you need to be in look around mode. To rotate the
model, you need to be in Free Orbit mode and so on. Autodesk Navisworks
remains in the selected mode until instructed otherwise. To identify the mode
you are in, look at the buttons. If a button is highlighted and has a dark blue
boarder around it, the corresponding mode is currently active.
To leave the mode, either click the same button again or choose a different
mode.
Some buttons are used to toggle the display of dialog boxes, and dockable
windows (for example, the Presenter window, the Animator window etc.).
Again, if a button is highlighted and has a dark blue boarder around it, it
means that the corresponding display element is currently open.
As you open more toolbars on the screen, or resize the Autodesk Navisworks
window, the toolbars may get overlapped with each other to reduce the screen
clutter. When this happens, some buttons will be hidden under the overlaps.
