The Tool Bars

With a Tablet PC, it's usually easier to click buttons than to select from menus. Buttons are larger and easier to hit. So the most commonly used commands from the menus are also available as Tool Bar buttons. These buttons are found on three toolbars:

• File Toolbar: Contains file, print, report, and export commands:
• Add a new UML model to the Model Tree.
• Open a new UML model within the Model Tree.
• Save the selected model. A model within the Model Tree is selected if any node underneath it is selected.
• Saves all models.
• Print all detail pages and diagrams within the model.
• Print the current detail page or diagram.
• Publish a Web Report of all detail pages and diagrams within the model.
•  Publish a Web Report of the current detail pages and diagrams within the model.
•  Export a diagram as an image file.
• Get help on the current detail page or diagram.
• Main Toolbar: Contains package and diagram commands:
• Add a new Package to the Model Tree.
• Add a new Use Case diagram to the Model Tree. When you add any new diagram, the Naming Dialog will appear, allowing you to rename the diagram .
• Add a new Activity diagram to the Model Tree.
• Add a new Component diagram to the Model Tree.
• Add a new Class diagram to the Model Tree.
• Add a new Sequence diagram to the Model Tree.
• Add a new Collaboration diagram to the Model Tree.
• Add a new State diagram to the Model Tree.
• Add a new Deployment diagram to the Model Tree.
• Add a new Package diagram to the Model Tree.
• Add a new Sketch diagram to the Model Tree.
• Diagram Toolbar: Contains commands for manually adding elements to the active diagram. Contents vary based on the diagram type.
