Context Toolbars

Context toolbars are smart toolbars that contain only those commands that can be applied to the current selection.

Notes:
  • Whether launched from the action bar or from the context toolbar, all transformation commands consider the pre-selected elements and add valid ones as targets.
  • When launched from the context toolbar, Laminate and Formulation add the selected elements as children.
  • Reset View:
    • Reset View is available from the Review Tools in the tree to show all features.
    • Reset View is not available on Smart Views, because the behavior is managed by Show Design View and Show Packaged View.
  • The color of all the features accepting color edition can be changed from their context toolbar.
