Customizing the Command Mini Toolbar
The Command Mini Toolbar (CMT) provides quick access to context—based commands when you select an element in the viewport. You can customize the CMT by adding, removing, and reordering commands (buttons).
To customize the CMT,
1. Click File > Options. The Options dialog box opens.
2. Click Command Mini Toolbar in the left pane.
3. In the Application box, retain the default (Modeling) or select other applications (available if those applications are active). The following applications are available, if activated:
◦ Annotation
◦ Sheet Metal
◦ 3D Documentation
* 
CMT is supported only for the applications mentioned in step 3.
4. In the box below, select a CMT to be modified. For example, select Empty space pick to add or remove commands from the CMT that appears when you click an empty viewport.
* 
To quickly locate a CMT in the box,
a. Select any element in the viewport. The relevant CMT appears in the viewport.
b. Select Search in the box below the Application box. The CMT relevant to the geometry is selected in the box and the commands on the CMT appear in the list on the right (below the box).
For example, select a 2D line in the viewport and select Search in the box below the Application box. The Single/multiple 2D edges CMT, which is relevant to a 2D line, is selected in the box.
5. In the Choose commands from box, select a command group. The corresponding commands appear in the list below the box.
6. To add a new command to the CMT, select a command in the list and click Add. The command is now visible in the list on the right.
7. The box below the list of commands (on the left) describes the command selected in the list.
8. To remove a command from the CMT, select the command in the list on the right and click Remove.
9. Click Details to view commands, which are available on the selected CMT, but are not contextual for a particular selection. The commands that are not contextual appear dimmed in the list on the right.
* 
• The Details button is active only if you select an element in the viewport.
• The commands that are not contextual for the selected element do not appear on the CMT in the viewport but appear in the command list on the Options dialog box.
For example, if you select a 2D line as shown in the following image,
◦ The (Create Anno) command is not required in this context. Creo Elements/Direct intelligently recognizes that an annotation or dimension is not required for an isolated edge and therefore does not display the command on the CMT in the viewport.
◦ The Create Anno command appears dimmed in the command list on the Options dialog box.
If you select a 2D line as shown in the following image,
◦ The (Create Anno) command is appropriate in this context and is therefore visible on the CMT. Here, the 2D edge is a part of a rectangle and therefore might need to have a dimension.
◦ The Create Anno command appears clearly in the command list on the Options dialog box.
10. Click Reset to restore the settings of the selected CMT to the default factory settings.
11. Click Reset All to restore the settings of all CMTs to the default factory settings.
12. Click OK to apply the settings and close the Options dialog box.
