Toolbar controls are
drop-down lists of items that can affect the objects in a drawing
or the way the program behaves from a toolbar. For example, the Layers
toolbar contains controls for defining layer settings. In the Customize User
Interface (CUI) Editor, you can add, remove, and relocate controls within
toolbars.
The following table lists the toolbar controls found
in the Customize User Interface (CUI) Editor and their definitions.
The control elements in the left column of the table are not always
the text that is displayed as a tooltip in the program (for example,
Undo Skinny Button is displayed as Undo in the program's tooltip).
Refer to this table when you want to change a control in a toolbar.
