Control panel — The selected area of the window containing various control elements (see. Figure). The structure of a Control Panel is determined by its purpose.
In the window. KOMPAS-3D control panels can be displayed: Parameters panel, Document tree panel, Variables panel, Layers panel, Component groups panel, Libraries panel, Numbering panel.
Control panels can be managed with the following menu commands: Settings — Toolbars. The set of commands depends on the type of the object. Enabling/disabling of panels is remembered for documents of the same type.
A control panel which is made available can be in one of two states — shown or hidden. The state of the panels is controlled with special buttons. By default, they are located in the column docked to the left border of the KOMPAS-3D window, and form a block.
You can enable display of only one panel from the block — the appropriate button for that panel has black background. You can also disable displaying of all panels.
To change the state of the required toolbar, click the corresponding button:
Parameters — Parameter panel,
Tree — Document tree panel,
Variables — Variable panel,
Component groups — Component group panel,
Layers — Layers panel,
Libraries — Library panel,
Numbering — Numbering panel,
Product composition — Product composition panel.

Regardless of whether panel displaying is enabled or not, the panel is shown automatically on the screen when the process using its items is working. For example, after invoking the command to construct a geometric object, the Parameters panel automatically appear on the screen. When the work is completed, the Panel is hidden. |
Position of the panels in the window can be changed. For example, you can mode a panel to the right-hand border of the window, make it floating, dock panels to each other. You can also merge panels in blocks similar to the default one. In the KOMPAS-3D window, one panel from each block can be displayed simultaneously.

If necessary you can hide all control panels and toolbars using the Show Toolbars command. Details... |
