Quick Access Toolbar

Click the Project tab to open the backstage menu. On the backstage menu, in the Options | Keyboard Shortcuts group: Select Customise > Quick Access Toolbar to provide easy access to the tools and functions you use on a regular basis by adding them to a toolbar.

Note that you can add items directly to the toolbar by right-clicking on the tools and menu items on the application ribbon:

Add a Command

Use the Choose commands from list to select a command you want to add to the toolbar. Click the Add button.

Remove a Command

Select a command you have added in the right-hand pane. Click the Remove button.

If necessary, use the Up and Down arrows at the right to change the order of the command in the list of commands in the panel (and the toolbar).

Show Quick Access Toolbar below the Ribbon

Select this check box to toggle the display of the Quick Access Toolbar on and off.

When the toolbar is enabled, you can customise the toolbar from a drop-down menu on the toolbar itself:

Frequently used commands (New File, Open File, Save, Undo, Redo) are enabled by default.

Repeat

Select this option to enable the ability to repeat the most recently used command. You may prefer to use the default keyboard shortcut (F9) or the Vizex hot key (ENTER) or the same option on the Vizex context menu. See: Repeat Last Command.

Note that Undo/Redo edit operations and some Vizex operations (e.g. Plan View, Measure tool, Select tool, etc.) are not repeatable.

While F9 is the default keyboard shortcut, you can replace it if necessary via the Customise > Keyboard Shortcuts option (on the backstage menu, in the Options | Keyboard Shortcuts group). The ENTER hot key is used directly inside Vizex and is not customisable.

The More Commands option provides another way to open the Customisation > Quick Access Toolbar page:

Modify

You can use the Modify option to rename the commands you add to your customised toolbar, as well as place commands in new groups within the toolbar.

Click Modify, with a command selected in the custom panel at the right.

Begin a Group

Select this check box if you want the selected command to be placed within a new group on the toolbar.

Name

Use the Name field to rename the selected command. If you leave the field blank, the command will retain its existing name.

Style

Use the drop down to select the display style for the command in the toolbar:

  • Default style

  • Caption only

  • Icon only

  • Icon and caption

Reset

Click Reset to restore the toolbar to its default contents.

Select this option to import and apply the customisations you have previously saved to a file.
