Tool Sets Tab (Customize Dialog Box)

Creates and manages the tools in the Workflow palette.

List of Options

The following options are displayed.

Commands List

Displays a list of the standard and custom commands that can be added to menus and tool sets. You must be on the Commands tab if you want to create or edit a command.

Drag the command to the location in the menu you want it positioned and drop it. The location of the command is indicated by the horizontal bar. If you hover over a menu or sub-menu while dragging a command, the menu or sub-menu will expand after a short interval.

Filter Commands List

Filters the commands displayed in the Commands list. Click the ‘X’ in the text box to clear the current filter.

Enter a text string to control which commands are displayed in the Commands list. Only the names of the commands that contain the text string are displayed in the Commands list.

Tool Sets List

Lists the tool sets available on the Tool Sets palette. Expand a tool set to see the commands, tool groups, and drop-downs (also known as flyouts) that are assigned to the tool set.

Right-click over a tool set in the list and choose Specify Tool Set Image to display the Specify Tool Set Image dialog box. The image assigned appears next to the tool set name in the Tool Sets list on the Tool Sets palette.

Create New Element(+)

Displays a menu which allows you to create a new tool set, tool group, or drop-down.

  • Add Tool Set - Creates a new tool set that can be accessed from the Tool Sets palette. Only one tool set can be displayed at a time on the Tool Sets palette.

    You do not add commands directly to a tool set, but to a tool group under a tool set.

  • Add Tool Group - Creates a new tool group that is used to organize related commands in a tool set.

    Tool groups are collapsed by default, and display the commands and drop-downs above the separator in the tool group. Commands and drop-downs below the separator are hidden until the disclosure triangle for the tool group is clicked on the Tool Sets palette. Click the Lock icon on a tool group’s title bar to keep it expanded.

  • Add Drop-down - Creates a new drop-down (of flyout) that is used to group related commands into a single button on a tool group.
Options

Displays a menu which allows you to manage the tool groups, commands, and drop-downs in a tool set.

  • Insert Separator - Adds a new separator after the selected command or drop-down in the Tool Sets list. When inserted, a solid horizontal line is displayed in the tool group or drop-down. A separator on a tool group controls which commands and drop-downs are displayed by default or are only available when the tool group is expanded.
  • Duplicate - Creates a copy of the selected tool group, command, drop-down, or separator currently selected in the Tool Sets list.
  • Delete - Removes the selected tool group, command, drop-down, or separator from the Tool Sets list.
