FTA Tools Toolbar
The FTA Tools toolbar provides buttons for quickly inserting gates and events. It also provides buttons for navigating fault tree pages.
FTA Tools Toolbar
To quickly show and hide the FTA Tools toolbar, right-click in the toolbar area and select FTA Tools. Repeating this step switches between showing and hiding the toolbar.
The following table shows the buttons in the FTA Tools toolbar when they are available for selection and describes what each one does.

Back
Takes you to the previously selected top gate. This button is available only after you have selected more than one top gate in this session. You can click the drop-down control for this button to view and select the identifier for the top gate.
Forward
Takes you to the subsequently selected top gate. This button is available only after you use the Back button in this session. You can click the drop-down control for this button to view and select the identifier for the top gate.
First Fault Tree
Takes you to the first top gate in the System file. This button is unavailable when the first top gate is selected.
Previous Fault Tree
Takes you to the previous top gate in the System file. This button is unavailable when the first top gate is selected.
Next Fault Tree
Takes you to the next top gate in the System file. This button is unavailable when the last top gate is selected.
Last Fault Tree
Takes you to the last top gate in the System file. This button is unavailable when the last top gate is selected.
