Using the Customize toolset, you can remove individual toolbars from the Abaqus/CAE display. Hiding toolbars that you use infrequently reduces clutter on the screen. You can always access the functionality in a hidden toolbar using an alternate method (such as the main menu bar, module-specific toolboxes, or keyboard shortcuts).
There are three ways to change the visibility of a toolbar:
Closing a floating toolbar
You can hide a floating toolbar by clicking the “X” in the toolbar's title bar. For an explanation of floating versus docked toolbars, see “Components of the toolbars,” Section 2.2.3.
To resume the display of a floating toolbar, you must use one of the techniques described below.
Using the main menu bar
To hide a visible toolbar, select View
ToolbarsToolbar Name from the main menu bar. Use the same procedure to resume the display of a hidden toolbar. Toolbars that are currently being displayed have a check mark next to their names in the menu listing.
Using the Customize dialog box
Using the Customize dialog box, you can change the visibility of multiple toolbars at once. Open the Customize dialog box by selecting ToolsCustomize from the main menu bar. On the Toolbars tabbed page, toggle off any toolbars you want to hide; toggle on any toolbars you want to make visible.
