TIPS BAR
The Tips bar is a BricsCAD user interface element that appears during at certain times, such as
during certain 3D modeling operations. It allows you to select a command option without using
the keyboard. (AutoCAD has nothing like this.)
The Ctrl icon reminds you to tap the Ctrl key to move through the options listed in the bar:
Left to right: Tips bars displayed for several commands
For example, the bar illustrated on the left appears with the dmExtrude command. The four icons
are for the Auto, Create, Subtract, and Unite options. Clicking the x dismisses the bar; it does not
cancel the command. You can use the Ctrl key to switch between options.
Toggle the display of the Tips bar with the TIPS button on the status bar.
