Toolboxes

DesignCAD has a convenient set of icon toolboxes that provides push-button access to many frequently needed tasks. To use one of these tools, click on it with the mouse.

To see the commands stored in a drawer, click on the visible tool and continue to depress the mouse button. After a moment, the drawer slides open, revealing the tools it contains. Keeping the mouse button down, move the cursor onto the tool you want to use, and then release the mouse button. As you move the cursor over a new tool, the Status Bar at the bottom of the screen gives a brief description of that tool.

The most recently used command in a drawer is the one that shows in the toolbox. Like most of the toolboxes in DesignCAD, the Main Toolbox can be docked to an edge of the drawing screen or, if already docked, pulled loose to float anywhere on screen.
