Set up the tools

Puts the tools for one kind of work at the top of the rail.

Why you would use it

The same viewer opens a roof plan, a score and a contract, and the handful of tools each of those needs is different. A rail of twenty-four symbols serves none of them well.

For example

What to do

1. It’s offered whenever you open a drawing, once the first page is on screen.
2. Pick what you are working on, or No preset. Or answer Not now and nothing changes.
3. Untick “Ask me this each time I open a drawing” and you won’t be asked again.
4. File › Set up the tools opens it whenever you want it, and Settings › Tools turns the asking back on.

Going further

It never takes anything away. Every tool stays on the rail, in the command palette and on its shortcut whichever you pick — so choosing one is never a decision you can regret.
