You can Customize Your MyTools Bar

The MyTools bar/list can be customized as
desired. The MyTools settings are saved
separately for each operator, allowing
everyone to use their preferred layout.

Tip: The contents of your MyTools bar (i.e., for the
present operator) are saved automatically when you
change any settings through this screen.

Opening and Positioning the MyTools
Bar

To open or close the MyTools bar, click

[MyTools]

on the toolbar. To change its

position, click-and-drag the top or left edge of
the bar to a new location.

You'll typically use the MyTools bar, or the Tree, but
not have both of them open at the same time.
Notice: If no items are set to appear on the MyTools
bar, it will appear as a small empty button (right-click it
to access this screen).
To save the position of your MyTools bar (along with
other desktop changes) open the View menu, select
Desktop Settings, and Save. (You will also be asked
if you want changes saved when you logout or exit.)

Changing the Look or Content of Your
MyTools Bar

login as that operator.

double-line at the starting-edge of the MyTools bar, and
select Customize.)

the list.)
