Customizing the Transparent Toolbar

HiCAD offers the option to customize the transparent toolbar.

For this you use (like you would do for user-defined Ribbon tabs) the UserInterfaceEditor.exe tool. You can directly start the tool from HiCAD, either by clicking on the

oder

Proceed as follows:

In the selection box on the right hand side, choose Transparent toolbar.

 

You will then see the current layout of the transparent toolbar on the right hand side of the dialogue window.

On the left hand side of the window beneath Select area you choose the Ribbon tab of which you wish to take any functions over into the transparent toolbar. If you have removed any functions from the default transparent toolbar predefined by the ISD, you can add them again by choosing Transparent toolbar beneath Select area.

 

Meaning of the symbols

The transparent toolbar can be exported to a file which can then be imported to other computers and utilized by others (e.g. colleagues). Select the storage location and enter the name of the export file. The file name extension is .URB.

Imports an URB file. In this way it can be achieved that the transparent toolbars are identical on all HiCAD workstations.

  • If the selected entry already exists in the transparent toolbar while the Allow duplicate entries/commands checkbox is deactivated, the Add >> function will be locked!
  • Not all entries of a Ribbon tab can be transferred to the transparent toolbar. In such cases, the Add >> function is also locked!
  • If you add a function that has a sub-menu with further functions, this sub-menu will also be taken over to the transparent toolbar. You can call this menu on the toolbar with a right-click on the function.

Special cases are sub-menu entries which do not contain a function themselves (e.g. Drawing > Save/Print > Save as > DXF/DWG settings): Here, you can also display the context menu with a left-click.
