Drop-down menus for all drawing tools may be added to the toolbar. This can provide a quick and convenient method to access shapes that are used frequently. There is a tool access button for each of the main drawing tool palettes, Charting, Stellate, Math, and Technical.

These tool buttons are "smart" and will remember the last shape chosen. This most recent shape is shown as the the tool icon. The tool shown is used with a simple click.

Use the customization panel to add these tool menu buttons to the toolbar.

It is possible to have duplicates of these menu tools on the toolbar. This arrangement introduces a dynamic aspect to your toolbar. Use different instances for different individual shape selections and the toolbar will evolve with the work flow, presenting your frequently used shapes for single click access.

Each row of the hierarchal menu will evolve to present the last used tool of that row. The icon shown for the row will represent this last used selection. To reuse this shape it is not necessary to navigate the sub-menu, just select the element on the primary menu.

Double clicking the main toolbar button will "stick" the tool. In this case you may repeatedly draw the selected shape. To clear the "sticky" state, click the main selection (arrow) tool, or any other tool. You may also clear a sticky state with a double click on the drawing canvas.
