Toolbar Flyouts

On some tool buttons a small black arrow at the bottom right corner of the icon indicates a flyout is available. A flyout holds a group of related tools. Press and hold the left mouse button to expand the flyout and choose one of the flyout tools. The tool that was last chosen remains visible in the collapsed toolbar.

Each of the flyouts can be opened as a separate toolbar. Drag the button of a toolbar flyout into the drawing area to open it as a floating toolbar.
