Finding Your Way in the Inventor Interface - Autodesk Inventor 2010: No Experience Required - page 4

The Application menu offers a lot great features, including being able to see
the names or images of recently opened fi les and being able to click the thumb-
tack icon to keep a fi le on the list no matter how long it's been since you opened
it. You can also access the options for Autodesk Inventor that control its appear-
ance and some aspects of its behavior.
FIGURE 1.3 The Application menu (expanded) and Quick Access Toolbar (discussed in
the next section)
Quick Access Toolbar
The Quick Access Toolbar — also shown in Figure 1.3, just to the right of the
Application Menu button — is a dynamic toolbar that displays shortcuts to many
common fi le tools. Tools for creating a new fi le and opening a fi le are on the
Application menu, but shortcuts to these commonly used tools also appear on
the Quick Access Toolbar by default. Other commonly used tools, like Undo and
Redo, are also on this toolbar. As you open different types of fi les, other tools
will appear, such as Print or the ability to select a part color from a pull-down.
You can Add frequently used tools to the Quick Access Toolbar to save time
and eliminate the need to search for a tool that you use frequently.
