Appendix A Toolbar and Menu Functions

Toolbar functions are also on menus (though not all menu items have a corresponding toolbar button).

Tooltips either display the name (e.g. Open Existing Project) or current value (e.g. Perspective).

Functions are described in the relevant sections of this user guide, and summarized below.

Some icons are on the main toolbar and others are on mini toolbars on the viewport tabs themselves. Toolbars on viewport tabs change depending what you are viewing.
