About the Tools Tab
Explains the concept of the Tools tab.
Regardless of the discipline you choose, the Tools tab contains a variety of tools that are not assigned to any specific workflow step and support you at various points during the editing process. To maintain a clear overview, the commands and functions are grouped according to their use into command groups.
In all Groups groups except Settings, buttons for viewing the three-dimensional drawings, for switching the user coordinate system and for visual styles are available in the upper area.
| Command group | Description |
|---|---|
 Sections / Views | The command group Sections / Views contains all the tools for creating and editing sections and views. |
 View settings | The View Settings command group is available only in the planning types 2D - Detail Planning and 3D - Model Planning and enables view control for various graphical elements. |
 Change properties | The Change Properties command group contains, among others, commands that affect layers and their structure and allow changing and transferring properties. |
 Tools | The command group Tools contains commands to easily copy or move layer and floor content, on the one hand, and to convert files not native to LINEAR into own standards using converters, on the other hand. |
 Inquire | The Query command group contains all commands for querying information from the drawing. The commands allow you to retrieve a wide variety of drawing information, which is output either in the command line or in CAD text windows. |
|
