M. Toolbar

Contains several of the most commonly used tools found in the Section Builder module.

Tool	Description	Shortcut
New
Open	Opens the Open Data File dialog, which is used to select either Section Builder (file extension .SEC) files or Free Sketch (file extension .CNS) files. Controls in this dialog are analogous to a common Windows open dialog, except as noted in the following. If the Preview option is selected, then a graphical preview of the section in a selected file is displayed prior to opening the file.
Save	Opens the Save dialog box if the file has not previously been saved and allows the Equivalent Section, section to be saved. If the file has previously been saved, then that file is updated with the new data. Files are saved in the Section Builder *.SEC format.
Create Standard Section	Opens the Section dialog which is used to quickly generate a composite section based on one of seven options. This is the same option that is available in the Section Builder module.
