Use the Canvas Toolbar

The Canvas toolbar is located above the upper, right corner of the canvas, providing easy access to some common selection, view, and navigation tools for working in an open file. When you place the mouse pointer over a button, a tooltip displays. If a button has a small black arrow to the right, clicking the arrow shows buttons for related commands.

By default, Design Review enables the Pan tool for 2D DWF files and the Orbit tool for 3D DWF files. When a DWF file has multiple sheets, the arrow buttons on the Canvas toolbar enable you to navigate quickly through them.

Depending on the open DWF file and the sheet displayed on the canvas, the Canvas toolbar may show additional icons: one icon to indicate whether or not the DWF file has been digitally signed and another icon to indicate if the sheet contains disablements.

To affect any item in Design Review, you must first select it.

About Contextual Toolbars

The Quick Access and Canvas toolbars are available most of the time in Design Review. However, some toolbars are displayed depending on the content shown on the canvas. These toolbars are contextual. The Grid Data, and Map toolbars are contextual toolbars.

Much like the sheet navigation tools on the Canvas toolbar, the Grid Data toolbar includes tools for navigating between sheets of tabular data, such as a parts list.

The Map toolbar contains tools for viewing georeferenced maps . The tools on the Map toolbar are accessible only when a georeferenced map is shown on the canvas.
