ONE-TIME VIEW BAR SETUP
Open View Bar Settings and unpin Phasing. Cloud Status may also be unpinned if you do not use it. These visibility preferences are local and are not included in the workspace file.

QUICK CHECK
With the drawing area active, press 4 for Rectangle, X for Selection, P for Push/Pull, and Shift+T for Texture. Press F to open Quick Search.

WORKSPACE AND TEMPLATE
This workspace supplies menus, tool palettes, custom icons and hotkeys. Drawing units, custom dimension standards, layers/classes and the recommended 1/2 inch = 1 foot design-layer scale belong in your separate drawing template. Draw and model at actual dimensions.

MOVE SHORTCUTS
