Creating and customizing your own toolbars in CATIA can be very useful and time saving, depending on the commands and icons you frequently use. CATIA allows you to add commands to the standard toolbars but also gives you the option of creating your own.

Select Tools | Customize to display the Customize dialog and click the Toolbars tab to display the toolbar options.

Click New to display the New Toolbar dialog and enter a name for your toolbar.

Click OK to create the toolbar and return to the Customize dialog. The newly created toolbar displays in the Toolbars list. Click Add commands and while pressing CTRL, select the commands you most frequently use. Click OK to add them to the toolbar.
