Context Toolbars

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

Commands are organized in categories. To change a command, just pause over it and select a new command or option from the vertical toolbar that appears.

The most commonly used commands are listed below.

Working with Context Toolbars

General Commands


	Robot Offers access to a number of commands that require the use of the Robot . See Robot Commands
	Navigation and edit parameters Lets you navigate through the feature structure and edit parameters using edition suggestions. Select a single element.

Further Commands


	Disconnect Disconnects a surface with a wire network and keep all faces in a single feature. Select the surface and the wire network. See Disconnecting Solid Faces
	Edge Fillet See Creating Edge and Corner Fillets and Creating Edge Fillets
	Line using two points Creates a line between two points. Select two points. See Creating a Line Between Two Points
	Plane See Plane Creation Commands
	Point on curve Creates a point on a curve at a distance from a reference point. Select a curve. See Creating a Point on a Curve
	Remove Face Simplifies a 3D shape by removing some of its faces when parts are too complex for finite element analysis. Select faces to remove. Note: The command is available on the context toolbar only if the following conditions are applied: The selected faces must be of the same type. A mixed selection (consisting of a solid and a surface, for example) is not supported. The selected faces must belong to features that are in the same body or geometrical set. See Creating Remove Face Features
	Semantic Painter Applies the specifications of the parent feature to the target features. Select any of the features: Hole Draft Edge Fillet Shell Thickness Chamfer Thread Tap See Using Semantic Painter
	Sketch Lets you sketch precise and rapid 2D profiles. Select a plane or a planar face and click Sketch in the context toolbar. See the Sketcher User's Guide

Plane Creation Commands


	Plane normal to curve Creates a plane normal to a selected curve passing through a selected point. See Normal to curve and Creating a Plane Normal to a Curve
	Plane Parallel and through point Creates a plane parallel to a selected reference plane through a selected point. See Parallel to a Plane and through a Point and Creating a Plane Parallel to a Plane and through a Point
	Plane tangent to surface Creates a plane tangent to a selected surface passing through a selected point. See Tangent to surface and Creating a Plane Tangent to a Surface
	Plane through planar curve Creates a plane passing through a planar curve. See Through planar curve and Creating a Plane Through a Planar Curve
	Plane through three points Creates a plane passing through three selected points. See Through Three Points and Creating a Plane Through Three Points
	Plane through two lines Creates a plane passing through two selected lines. See Through two lines and Creating a Plane Through Two Lines

Robot Commands


	Create features mode Creates a feature when moving the selected geometry.
	Move features mode Moves the geometry without creating a feature.
	Global Mode Moves or creates topology. Topology is moved (same dimension) or created (upper dimension) from the selected sub-element if the feature containing it is of a higher dimension, and from the feature containing the selected sub-element if it is of the same dimension (or if the feature is a 3D element). See Using Global and Local modes
	Local Mode Modifies a feature locally. The feature containing the selected sub-element locally gets modified when the selected sub-element is being moved. See Using Global and Local modes
	Same dimension Keeps the current selection dimension when manipulating and translates the selected geometry. See Creating and Manipulating Geometry
	Upper dimension Increases the current selection dimension when manipulating and extrudes the selected geometry. See Creating and Manipulating Geometry
	Modify Face Creation See Transforming Solid or Volume Faces

3D Shape Commands


	Define In Work Object Define an object as current without taking the complete 3D shape into account. See Scanning a 3D Shape and Defining In Work Objects.
	Body in a Set Inserts a new body in an ordered geometrical set. See Inserting a Body into an Ordered Geometrical Set.
	Geometrical Set Inserts a geometrical set. See Managing Geometrical Sets.
	Ordered Geometrical Set Inserts an ordered geometrical set. See Managing Ordered geometric Sets.
