2D Layout for 3D Design Toolbars

This section describes the various toolbars of the 2D Layout for 3D Design workbench. The toolbars are located around the workbench in the default set-up, except for the Tools palette which appears only when specific tools are available for a given command.

A number of toolbars (and commands) available in the 2D Layout for 3D Design workbench are actually documented in the Interactive Drafting User's Guide as well as in the Sketcher User's Guide. These toolbars are also listed below, but you may be directed to another documentation for specific commands.
