CadnaA-Toolbox
The toolbox is part of the CadnaA main window and shows the symbols representing the different object types. It can be positioned at any location on the desktop. To this end, click its upper border with the left mouse button and hold the button pressed while moving the mouse to a different position on the window. When having reached the desired position, release the mouse button.
Select Object Type
An object type is selected by clicking the desired symbol once, or - if available - by pressing the respective key combination, i.e. the CTRL key plus the respective letter key simultaneously.
