The Function Toolbar is one of the most outstanding features of GTS.

The Function Toolbar is designed in the tabbed toolbar format to maximize its usability. Therefore, even a beginner can utilize the toolbar immediately. The commands are grouped together by their geometrical or functional type, so that the user can easily locate them. For example, if the user wants to create a Planar Surface, he/she can locate the command in the Surface Tab.

Desiring Function	Relevant Tab
To Create a Polyline which is a geometric type of Curve.	Curve Tab
To Trim an Object which is a geometric type of Solid.	Solid Tab
To delete a Polyline or a Solid	Geometry Tab (a group of commonly shared functions having multiple geometry types)
To generate Auto-mesh in Solid.	Auto-Mesh Tab
To generate mesh using manual extrusion	Protrude-Mesh Tab

User-defined Toolbar

The Toolbars can be placed in any desired area of the program and they can be shown or hidden through the Customize command in the Context Menu.

Commands Tab

In the Command Tab of the Customize Toolbar dialog box, the user can add desired menu by dragging the menu into a Toolbar. To remove a menu, simply drag it out. The customized Toolbar can be initialized by the Reset All button in the Toolbar Tab.

<Toolbars> Tab of <Customize>

Toolbars Tab

Each toolbar can be shown or hidden by checking the items in the tab. By clicking the <New> button, a new toolbar can be created. The customized Toolbar can be initialized by the <Reset All> button.

Keyboard Tab

The user can define shortcut keys for individual functions in the Keyboard Tab. Select a function to create a shortcut in the <Commands> list on the left, and enter the new shortcut key in <Press New Shortcut>. The shortcut keys can be initialized by the <Reset All> button in the Toolbar Tab.
