Action Pad Panel

The Action Pad panel lets you organize your favorite commands.

By default, Digitized Shape to Surface proposes the commands listed below, provided you have access to the corresponding apps.

Note: The online User Assistance of commands imported from other apps may be available only from the action bar of those apps.

To access the Action Pad panel, from the Tools section of the action bar, click Action Pad , or right-click inside the 3D area and select Display > Action Pad.
