About the Live Toolbar
In the Creo Direct Modeling environment, a Live Toolbar may appear in the graphics window within an activated part or an assembly. The characteristics of a Live Toolbar are as follows:
It appears when you select a geometric or a datum entity.
It enables direct and intuitive interaction with the model.
It shows only those tools that you can use on a selected entity.
The default tool changes as you select different reference entities.
Each button opens an Options Toolbar with the most relevant options and collectors. You can expand the Options Toolbar to open a Floating Dashboard with all the options.
