This tab supplies the categories of available toolbar buttons on the left, and the graphical representation of these on the right. You add a desired button from any of the categories by dragging it up to the place on the existing toolbar where you'd like it to be. An I beam tool will appear showing you into which gap the button will be dropped.

You can drop the button between any existing button, or on either end if you'd prefer. Below the list of buttons is a description for what the currently-selected button in the list will do when you click it during work.

You can edit the main program menu in virtually the same way. Select a function to add to a menu, and drag the graphic for that command to the HyperSnap-DX 5 menu. The menu below the mouse cursor will "open up," and you can then drag the graphic up and down to locate the item where you'd like it.

A horizontal ][ beam graphic will appear so as to display the final location of the added item when you drop the graphic.

Release the graphic when the I beam is where you want the new menu item to appear, and HyperSnap-DX 5 will add the function at that location.

The Commands tab allows you to quickly build the toolbar you want by dragging and dropping the buttons you choose onto your toolbar. (The drawing palette can't be changed, though, in this release.)

  1. Highlight the category you wish to work with from those available on the left, and the rightmost pane will change to reflect buttons available within that category.

  2. Click on the button you wish to add, and drag and drop it into the position on the program's bar where you'd like it to go.

  3. Continue through the various categories until you've got the buttons you want.

To remove buttons you don't want from the application's toolbar:

  1. Click and hold on that button and drag it completely off the HyperSnap-DX 5 user interface.

  2. A little X will appear on the bottom of the button's graphic below the mouse, showing you that you cannot drop the button there and have it work. (That's okay, you're removing it.)

  3. Let go and the button is now gone.

  4. If you make a mistake, you can re-add the same button from the applicable category by dragging it from the category list and back onto the bar.

Once you're finished adding or removing buttons, click on the Toolbars tab. Here you can completely hide any of the visible toolbars by removing the checkbox next to the bar's name. The toolbar has its own help section. Click the button below to read about it.

Clicking the Close button will close the entire set of Customize tabs, establishing all of your changes on each as the settings the program will use.
