A Provide a name for the new tools panel B New tools panel created with a default fill/stroke proxy
Note: A Fill/Stroke proxy is added by default. This cannot be removed from the custom tools panel.
2 Drag a tool from an existing tools panel into a new or existing custom tools panel. If the tool is part of a group of
tools, then the topmost tool is copied. Release the mouse when the cursor appears with a plus sign (
).
Dragging and dropping a tool when the mouse cursor appears with a cancel operation sign ( ) performs no
addition or deletion of tools.
3 To get a tool that does not appear as the top-most tool in a group, do one of the following:
a Press Alt/Opt and click the tool group. This action cycles through all the tools present in the tool group.
b When the tool that you want appears at the top of the group, drag it to the custom tools panel. Release the mouse
when the cursor appears with a plus sign(
).
OR
c Drag the tool group into an empty portion of the workspace, to view it as a toolstrip.
d From the toolstrip, drag a tool to the new tools panel. Release the mouse when the cursor appears with a plus
sign(
).
4 To remove a tool, drag the tool out of the custom tools panel, and drop it when the mouse cursor appears with a
minus sign (
).
Note: A tool can be removed from a tools panel only when a document is open.
5 To swap positions of tools within a custom-created tools panel, press the Alt/Opt key, drag a tool on top of the tool
you want to swap positions with, and then drop the tool when the cursor appears with a two-way arrow sign (
).
A custom tools panel is persistent in the workspace it is created in. If you change to another workspace and then return
to the original workspace, any tools panels created are retained and reopened.
