Tool Boxes Dialog

Used to open toolboxes.

You can access this dialog from the following:
  • Ribbon: File > Settings > User > Tool Boxes


Note: You also can use the CUSTOMIZE OPEN TOOLBOX <toolbox_name> key-in to open a toolbox.
SettingDescription
Tool Boxes Allows you to see a list of all available toolboxes. The toolboxes with a check mark next to them are already open. To open a toolbox, you must place a check mark in its check box by clicking it. Single-clicking a check box or a toolbox's name places a check mark in the check box, which will open the toolbox. Double-clicking a check box or a toolbox's name opens the toolbox and activates the OK button in the Tool Boxes dialog.
Note: Toolboxes with "- Custom" appended to their name were created in the Customize dialog and are saved in the DGN libraries to which your MS_GUIDGNLIBLIST configuration variable points.
Customize Opens the Customize dialog, which is used to customize toolboxes and menus.
Large Buttons If checked, displays the tool icons as larger than their normal size. The default is unchecked.
Note: You also can change the size of tool icons in the Preferences dialog, under the Look and Feel category.
Show Tool Tips If checked (the default), the name of the tool appears as you pass the pointer over the tool's icon.
Immediately Open If checked (the default), when you place a check mark next to a toolbox in the list, the toolbox opens immediately. When you remove the check mark next to a toolbox in the list, it closes immediately.
OK Closes the dialog. If the Immediately Open check box is off, clicking OK also opens all toolboxes with a check mark next to them in the list box.
Cancel Closes the dialog. If the Immediately Open check box is off, clicking Cancel closes the dialog without opening the toolboxes that you just checked.
