The following Application Guide toolbars are available in Cimatron (in alphabetical order):

• Die Design Guide Toolbars
• Electrode Guide Toolbar
• Mesh Guide Toolbar

Navigating the Guide Toolbars

The Guide toolbars have the same behavior as all toolbars in Cimatron in regards to invoking function, customization, and so on.

Clicking a button invokes the function.

Toolbar Split Buttons do not occur in the Guide toolbars. When a Guide toolbar button has a small black triangle adjacent to an icon, this indicates that there is a group of functions under a single button (like other toolbars). Clicking this button will immediately display the list of functions available under this button.

The Help topics for Guide toolbars contain links to the relevant functions (or group of functions) for a full function description. In addition, you can view a brief function description without having to leave the current Help topic by clicking on Summary:Summary:
