Toolbars
At a glance
- Named tool groups on the Drafting and Design toolbars — every group wears a label
- Drag any group by its handle to reorder the bar; your layout is remembered per workspace
- A Utility group puts Search and the Calculator one click away
- Sketch editing takes over the whole toolbar — with a lit Sketch badge so you always know where you are
JetCad3's workspace toolbars group related tools into clusters you can rearrange to match how you work. The tool-heavy Drafting and Design toolbars go a step further: each group shows its name in a small caption above its buttons — Sketch, Solid, Feature, Edge, Sheet Metal, Boolean, Transform, Construction, Utility in Drafting; Draw, Modify, Boolean, Align, Distribute, Arrange, Utility in Design — so finding a tool is a glance instead of a hover-and-hunt. The other workspaces keep their compact single-row bars.
Rearranging groups
Grab the four-dot handle at the left edge of any group and drag it along the bar to reorder. The order you choose is saved per workspace, and on smaller screens the bar wraps groups onto extra rows instead of cutting tools off the edge — a group never splits mid-cluster.
The Utility group
Drafting keeps a Utility group with two always-useful buttons:
- Calculator — the built-in desk calculator, one click away.
- Search — opens the tool search palette (the same one the
Skey brings up). While you're editing a sketch it searches the sketch tools instead, automatically.
Design's toolbar carries the Calculator in its own Utility group too.
Sketch editing takes the bar
Enter a sketch in Drafting and the sketch toolbar takes over the full width — the solid-modeling tools you can't use mid-sketch step aside instead of stacking a second row. The first icon on the bar is a lit Sketch badge: a pure indicator that tells you you're inside a sketch (it isn't a button). The Utility group rides along, so Search and the Calculator stay within reach while you sketch. Finish or exit the sketch and the main toolbar returns exactly as you left it.
