Panels

The panels initially appear along the left side of the application window. You can dock and detach these panels.

• Structure panel (10): Contains the Structure tree, which shows you each of the objects in your design. You can quickly show or hide any object using the check box next to the object's name. You can expand or collapse the nodes of the tree, rename objects, create, modify, replace, and delete objects, as well as work with components.
• Layers panel: The Layers panel allows you to group objects and set their visual characteristics, such as visibility and color.
• Selection panel: The Selection panel lets you select other objects related to the one currently selected.
• Groups panel: The Groups panel stores groups of selected objects. Selection, Alt+selection, and move anchoring, axis, and ruler dimension information is all stored with the group.
• Views panel: The Views panel stores standard and custom views, and lets you assign shortcut keys to custom views.
• Options panel (11): The Options panel allows you to modify the functions of the SpaceClaim tools. For example, when you use the Pull tool, selecting an edge and then selecting the Chamfer Edge option creates a chamfer instead of a round when you pull the edge.
• Properties panel (12): The Properties panel displays details about the selected object. You can change the property values to change the object.
