Rearranging the main toolbar

You can rearrange sections of the main toolbar. Toolbar sections are divided by a thin vertical line.

  1. Make sure the toolbar is unlocked. The toolbar is locked if it does not have thick vertical bars next to the thin vertical toolbar dividers.

    If the toolbar is locked, unlock the toolbar by selecting the Window > Lock the Toolbars menu item.
  2. Grab the section of the toolbar you want to rearrange by moving the mouse over the thick vertical line on the left side of the desired segment. The mouse cursor changes its shape to indicate that you can click to move the toolbar section.
  3. Click and hold the left mouse button to grab the toolbar section.
  4. Move the section left and right or up and down. Release the mouse button to place it in the new location.
  5. To pack the tool items so that they are fully visible and don't have gaps between them select Window > Reset Toolbar Layout.
  6. To prevent accidental changes to the toolbar lock it again by selecting the Window > Lock the Toolbars menu item.
