Arrange Toolbars

The Arrange Toolbars each contain a selection of tools that are used for positioning and arranging objects. These tools are also found in the Arrange Menu.

The toolbars come in both a long version, for high-resolution screens, and a shorter one with sub-menus to fit on smaller screens.

Accessing the Arrange Toolbars¶

The Arrange Toolbar is located near the center of the top toolbar in MillMage by default, to the right of the Main Toolbar.

If you have closed the Arrange Toolbar, go to Window → Arrange to re-enable it.

To restore it and all other toolbars and windows to their default positions, go to Window → Reset to Default Layout.

To enable the Arrange (long) Toolbar, go to Window → Arrange (long).

Tip

The layout of MillMage is highly customizable. For more information on enabling and disabling windows and toolbars, or rearranging the default layout, see Customizing the MillMage Window.

Click any button in the images below to jump to information on that tool, or scroll down for a list of options and descriptions.
