Inventor Fusion commands use a Heads-Up Display (HUD). The HUD provides controls in the graphics window instead of on dialog boxes. There are five types of controls:
Many commands display a custom ribbon that includes additional options. The command ribbon replaces the ribbon bar while the command is active.

The value entry fields provide several methods for setting the value for a command or entity.

Glyphs display next to the cursor to provide access to tools and commands. Pause the cursor over the glyph to display a list of options. The options display until you make a selection or move the cursor away from the glyph.
Mini-toolbars can have value entry fields, glyphs, and buttons. Most mini-toolbars display near the cursor when a command is active. Other mini-toolbars, such as the sketch control buttons, display in the same location.

Manipulators are 3D tools that display while a command is active. Drag the manipulator to change a value or location. If the command has multiple manipulators, click on a manipulator to activate it or press Tab to cycle through them. Sketch and Feature commands use arrow, sphere, and ring manipulators; and Move uses a triad manipulator.
