Toolbar Model Overview
| The Explorer tab and the Model tab share the same toolbar and some of the options. The model specific options are explained in the following sections. |
Toolbar Buttons and Options
The toolbar in the Model tab allows you to manipulate the model or its objects. The icons are functionally grouped for better orientation. A functional group is indicated by a color. Each icon displays its function by means of a small pop-up window (mouse over).
Basic Options and Reports
| The green icons in the toolbar represent basic options for models and objects: Add Model, Delete, Copy, Cut, Paste (Paste object, Paste object with new definition, Paste format), Compare model and Apply templates. The blue icons in the toolbar represent Undo and Redo options. In addition to these basic options there are also orange icons that represent: Export, Report, Share, Publish to Cockpit, Print model and Print model to Word (.docx). |
Object Alignment
| The red icons in the toolbar are used for object alignment. Note that some of these options are visible only when you select two or more objects. Also, to be able to see all of the object alignment icons, first click the three dots icon which is placed after the auto layout icon. |
Model Options
| The blue icons in the toolbar are used for manipulating a model with options like: Toggle grid on/off, Toggle Connection Drawing on/off, Viewer Mode, Show invalid, Tooltip or Toggle surrounding objects.
