CabMasterPro uses a Ribbon which is designed to help you quickly find the commands that you need to complete a task and can be customised.

 

There are four main parts to the Ribbon...

1. Context tabs are shown only when needed to reduce clutter. For example, Plan Tools are shown only when the View Type is Plan.
   • Context tabs are also dependant on selections made from the Breadcrumbs Bar, which is used to navigate around cabinets, parts and other items.
2. Ribbon tabs sit across the top of the Ribbon. Each tab represents a type of activity which pull together all the commands you are likely to need for a required task.
3. Commands can be a button, a menu, or a box where you enter information and are arranged in logical groups.
   

   To quickly find relevant help topic, try clicking on the Context Help button  and then on a command.

4. Groups are sets of related commands collected together under tabs.

Hide/Show Commands Ribbon

The Commands Ribbon can be hidden to maximise the drawing area.

2. Use the Customize Quick Access Toolbar option; or
3. Double click the name of the active tab; or

Context tab

The Ribbon will adapt, depending on what you are working on, to show you the commands likely needed for that task.

For example, when working in Plan View, the Context Elevations and Cameras tabs will be made available, as shown above. The Context Display tab is shown only when 3D View is selected. Otherwise these tabs are not visible.

1. Minimize the Ribbon i.e. Show/Hide commands
2. Customise the Ribbon which allows you to create New Tabs and New Groups and even Rename tabs.
3. Customise the default Keyboard Shortcuts or create your own.

To do this, from the Customise Quick Access Toolbar menu, select 'More Commands...' from the drop list.
