Layout Toolbar

You use the Layout toolbar to lay out your model in the drawing pane.

Note: Less commonly used elements are not displayed in the Layout toolbar by default but are still available for use.

The Layout toolbar contains the following buttons:

Select Changes your mouse cursor into a selection tool. The selection tool behavior varies depending on the direction in which the mouse is dragged after defining the first corner of the selection box, as follows: If the selection is made from left-to-right, all elements that fall completely within the selection box that is defined will be selected. If the selection is made from right-to-left, all elements that fall completely within the selection box and that cross one or more of the lines of the selection box will be selected.
