Info Bar, Info Toolbar and Status Bar
User guidance
HiCAD displays user guidance texts in the Info bar and the Info toolbar. You can activate or deactivate these bars via Settings > Docking windows.
Info bar
The Info bar is displayed below the multifunctional toolbar and extends across the entire window width (Microsoft standard). It can be hidden and redisplayed, but not moved.
Info toolbar
The info toolbar is displayed in a small window on the bottom left, below the drawing area. The window can be moved freely, hidden and redisplayed.
The dialogue text also contains advice on whether you can use the right
mouse button to activate a context menu or whether special functions are
possible, e.g. Select function/object (RMB=Ext.
selection).
Status bar
The status bar fields are for information purposes only.
The meaning of the above fields is as follows (from left to right):
- name of the active part,
- active view and view scale,
- scale of the current drawing,
- current coordinate system and
- current cursor coordinates
Please note:
- If the drawing contains 3-D parts, the type of 3-D coordinate system is displayed even if you switch to 2-D.
- During the loading and saving of drawings,the loading of 3-D parts (.KRA), insertion of Design Variants and many other functions, a progress bar will be shown next to the status bar.
