The Extras menu provides tools such as the Colour Editor or Variant Editor as well as additional functions for 3-D grids and various Temporary settings.
If you click on the icon, the Colour Editor will be started. If you click on the arrow 
 next to the icon, a pull-down menu with further tools and functions will be displayed.

                             3-D grid Grids are important auxiliary tools for design tasks in 3-D. Use this function to define 3-D line grids. The lines of the grid are also called "system axes".  |

                             This function enables you to assign different designations to HiCAD part types. These are assigned to the HiCAD attribute $02 (in the browser: H_designation 2). This makes it possible, for example, to assign individual additional texts to different beam types or even plates and pipes.  |
