DesignPLUS Sidebar Display Choices

Element Display

When you open the Sidebar, the tools are listed by category by default, however, you can customize how the elements and tools will display in the Sidebar.

Step-by-Step Guide:

1. The first option is whether you want the tools to be sorted and displayed by:

   1. Category - this sorts and lists the tools based on functionality and purpose.

   2. Alphabetically - this lists all tools in either ascending (Sort A - Z) or descending (Sort Z - A) order.
      
      

      Open

      

      Select by Category or Alphabetically

       

2. The second option, which works with the first selection, lets you determine how the tools are displayed either under their categories or in the list. These options are:

   1. Large Icons

   2. Small Icons

   3. List View
      
      

   Open

   

   Size of Icon or List Display

    

The choice of display can enable easy access to the tools you need in a format you are comfortable with. Here are examples of the display for three of the most common selections:

As you become familiar with the names of tools, you also have the ability to simply use the search field at the top of the tab. While you may be familiar with some of the tools available in the previous version of DesignPLUS, some names may have changed, but the search field will help you find what you are looking for!
