How to Open and Close Tool Groups Within the Toolbox
By default, the Toolbox shows all tools in all Tool Groups simultaneously. If the Toolbox becomes too unwieldy, use the open/close arrows at the top of each Tool Group to temporarily open and close these groups as needed.
If the open/close arrows are not displayed, disable the “Always open” control in Tool Group Options.
See Tool Group Options, below.
Tool Group Options
•
Create: Use this command to create a new tool group.
•
Rename or Delete: These commands are applied to the selected tool group.
•
Always keep group open: This option will keep the selected Tool Group open on your screen, and no open/close arrow is available on its panel.
To be able to open or close each Tool Group in the Toolbox separately: disable the “Always Keep Tool Groups Open” option.
•
Show icon and tool name, or Show icon only: This option determines how the tools in the selected Tool Group are displayed.
Changes to the Toolbox are applied when you press OK and close the dialog box. The current open/close status of your toolbox panels will be saved as part of the Tool Scheme, together with all the other settings customized in this dialog box.
Note: It is possible that the Toolbox size, as saved in your Workspace Scheme, is not big enough to accommodate all the toolbox panels you saved as open. In this case, one or more panels of your Toolbox will be displayed as closed.
