The Quick Access Toolbar by default is presented above the Ribbon and contains the Save, Undo, and Redo commands. This topic discusses how you can customise the Quick Access Toolbar to suit your own preferences for faster drawings in CabMaster.

Add to Quick Access Toolbar

Create a collection of your favourite or most commonly used command buttons, such as Callout shown in the example below.

• Simply right click on the command and select 'Add to Quick Access Toolbar' from dropdown menu.
  • Note: If the command is already on the Quick Access, then this will option will be greyed out.
    

More Commands

Alternatively, you can select 'More Commands...' from the drop list.

This will open a dialog which has a comprehensive range of customisation options, allowing you to:-

1. Remove commands.
2. Add commands.
   

   Example

   The example shows Home > Select command added to the Quick Access Toolbar.
   
3. Change the order of commands.
4. Customise where the Quick toolbar appears on the ribbon.
5. Create you own keyboard shortcuts.

Show Below/Above the Ribbon

Selecting 'Show Below the Ribbon' option will move the Quick Access Toolbar below the ribbon as shown in the following example.

To move back to top, just select the 'Show Above the ribbon' option which will now be made available.

Minimize the Ribbon

If you always want to keep the ribbon minimised then select the Minimize the Ribbon option on the menu shown above.

• To use the Ribbon while it is minimized, click the tab you want to use, and then click the option or command you want to use.

• To Restore simply select the Minimize the Ribbon option again.

• To minimize ribbon for a short time use Keyboard Shortcut Ctrl+F1 or double click the name of the active tab. To Restore - Repeat.

Keyboard Shortcuts

Clicking on the 'Customise...' button opens a separate dialog that allows you to create your own (new) Keyboard Shortcuts.

If the shortcuts are not working as expected then you can 'Reset All' button.

Example

Under the heading 'Current Keys', it shows that the Shortcut is F8 for the Command Export Machining.

The 'Press new  shortcut key' function can be used to personalise the shortcut.

Accelerator

Prior to version 10, the settings are saved by the framework into the registry, at HKCU\Software\AllMasterSoftware\CabMasterPron\Workspace\Keyboard-0\Accelerators (regedit) where n = version number. It is set as 'Default'.

Undo 

Keyboard Shortcut: Ctrl+Z
Reverses the last editing action if possible. For example, if you move a cabinet or object and then select Undo, the object will move back into its original position. The Undo command will be greyed out if it is unable to reverse the last action.

Redo 

Keyboard Shortcut: Ctrl+Y
This command is only available after Undo has been used, and it reverses the effect of the undo. It effectively undoes the Undo by repeating the original action.
