Command Control Bar

The Command tool bar, commonly referred to as the "command line" lets you launch process or design commands by entering their name and pressing <ENTER>.

Like other control bars, you can position this one wherever you want on the screen, or even have it floating above other screen items. See Customizing Control Bars.

The Command control bar typically shows status messages during processing of either a design command or a process.

It also displays useful startup information, such as the current product name and version, and if an external graphics card is detected (and if so, which type).

Right-clicking this control bar reveals the following menu options:

Copy: Copies the currently highlighted text to the clipboard.
Clear: Clears the contents of the control bar, ready for new content.
Select All: Selects and highlights all text in the control bar, even if it is currently scrolled out of view.
Save As: Save the contents of the control bar in a Rich Text Format (.rtf) file.
Print: Access connected printers to create a hardcopy of the current control bar contents.
Font: Pick a different font (this change is retained between application sessions.
Word Wrap: Choose if text wraps at the end of the control bar or if a scroll bar is displayed instead.
Hide: Hides the control bar. It can be redisplayed using the Show menu.
