Quick Access Toolbar (QAT): A customizable set of commonly used functions that is always available in the interface. The QAT can be located above or below the ribbon. Selection bar: A toolbar that combines Autocursor control and general selection tools used to select entities in the graphics window. There are two selection modes, standard selection, and solid selection, which are activated based on the function you are using. Autocursor controls allow you to detect and snap to locations as you move the cursor over geometry in the graphics window. Quick Masks: A group of controls that helps you to select all entities of a certain type, or to select only entities of a certain type. Most quick mask controls are divided in half. Clicking the left or right side of the control toggles between selection modes. When quick Mask control is selected it highlights to indicate the selection mask in on. You can toggle multiple quick masks at a time. Status Bar: A bar across the bottom of the workspace that shows the coordinate position of the cursor and provides quick access to modify the cplane, Tplane, WCS, and Z Depth of geometry and toolpath in the graphics window.
