Next, disable the Edit Palettes option. Click and hold down the mouse button on the visible command.
The folded palette appears. Either release the mouse button and select the desired command or
position the mouse pointer over the desired command before you release the mouse button. Note
that the visible command is also a hidden command.
If the Lock Icon command of the context menu is disabled, the visible command will be the most
recently selected command. For example, if the visible command is Cube and you select the Cone
command, the Cone command becomes the visible command. The order of the commands in the
folded palette corresponds to their order at fold time. Therefore, arrange the commands before you
fold them.
You can drag and drop a visible command onto another palette. This enables you to use several folded
command groups within the same palette. To create a palette with several folded command groups,
rst create two empty icon palettes. Use the rst palette to create a folded command group. Drag
and drop the folded commands (i.e. the visible command) onto the second palette. Create the second
folded group in the rst palette, drag and drop it onto the second palette, and so on. Once you’ve
nished creating and adding the folded commands, close the redundant palette. You can also use
text-only display with folded palettes.
Unfolding command groups
You can unfold a command group into a palette of individual commands. Right-click (Windows) or
Command-click (Mac OS) the visible command to open its context menu. From this menu, choose
Unfold Command.
The lock icon
If the Lock Icon option in the context menu is disabled, the visible command for a folded group of
commands is the most recently selected command. For example, if the visible command is Cube and
you select the hidden Cone command, the Cone command becomes the visible command. If this
option is enabled, the current visible icon will be locked, meaning that no matter which tools you then
use from the folded palette the visible command remains the same.
Deleting commands from palettes
To delete a command from a palette, move the mouse pointer over the command and right-click
(Windows) or Command-click (Mac OS) to open the context menu. From this menu, choose Delete
Command.
Editing a palette
Commands can only be added when the Edit Palettes option is enabled. Position the mouse pointer
over a command and right-click (Windows) or Command-click (Mac OS). Choose Edit Palettes to
enable or disable the option.
