NC Toolbar Icons
Default toolbars are initially displayed. Some of these toolbars are specific to the Cimatron application you have opened. All toolbars can be customized as required.
The default Toolbar area (displayed at the top of the Cimatron window) contains a number of toolbars that provide easy access to the most commonly used functions and also the online Help (F1). The toolbars that are displayed depend on the currently active file type. The toolbar layout can be customized (added, removed, and positioned) as required.
