Located just below the main menu, this horizontal toolbar changes your cursor behavior in real-time.
The most used tool. It allows you to draw a series of connected lines and arcs.
| Tool | Icon (Description) | Primary Use | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Profile | Connected line/arc | Draw continuous chains of lines & tangent arcs. | | Rectangle | Various corner types | Standard, Centered, or Parallelogram rectangles. | | Circle | Center & radius | Most common circular feature. | | Trisphere (Tri-Tangent Circle) | Circle tangent to 3 elements | Creates an inscribed/exscribed circle. | | Spline | Freeform curve | Complex organic shapes. | | Ellipse | Center & axes | Oval profiles. | | Line | Bi-point or infinite | Individual straight lines (unconnected). | | Axis | Infinite dashed line | For symmetry, revolution, or mirror references. |
Defines relationships between elements.
