Further functions are available in the context bar, they vary from tool to tool. These functions usually related to the active tool or an active basic block.

The parts of the style are managed in the part organisation. Here, the structure of the style is determined and the dependencies are displayed.

The part organisation consists of the part rack and the part list with menu, preview and part information.

Information on part organisation can be found here.

The button is active if the selected part is a mother part. Clicking on the button displays information about the mother part, part number, part name and size on the left. The display varies according to the cursor position. If the cursor points to an empty area, the part number, part name and the base size of the active part are displayed. The area for zooming is located on the right, The pin is used to fix the set zoom value. The zoom value can be entered as a decimal number, but also with 1:xxx and xxx:1 in the edit field or selected in the combo box.

The library replaces the 'old' call list. The library is a dockthat can remain open while working. It can be opened by clicking in Control bar or on View→Library or CTRL + H .

All basic blocks available in the selected measurement system can be called up in the dock library . Under General, you can find constructions which can be called in a number of measurement systems. The order of the basic constructions has been changed and some of the descriptions have been added. The section SIZES_1 contains constructions that can only be called in the current measurement system A preview image is displayed when a basic block is selected. Call up the desired construction by double-clicking. It is now possible to hide and show the mirrored basic blocks directly in the library. Often used basic blocks can be marked with a favourite star and displayed with the favourite filter. At the top of the library there is a search input field for the specific search for a basic block. Editing the library is still possible.
