Using the Assistant panel

There is a Favourites toolbar at the top of the Assistant panel, which you can use to control what buttons, toolsets and areas are shown on the Assistant panel. This enables you to hide the tools that you do not require during your workflow. You can also display labels for each button.
Although you can choose which of a toolset's buttons are displayed, you cannot move a button from one toolset to another, or elsewhere on the Assistant panel.
The availability of this feature is license dependent.

Using the favorites toolbar
By default, all buttons, toolsets, and areas in the Assistant panel are available, and Favourites mode is toggled off. The  icon is displayed.

To choose your favourites:

1. Click on the Favourites toolbar, then select  Edit Favourites from the context menu:

   The buttons in the Assistant panel are displayed, and the toolset layout is temporarily ignored. All buttons are active when selecting your favourites, although they cannot be used.

2. On the Assistant panel, click the buttons you want to add or remove:
   • If a button is unavailable, click to add the button to your favourites.
   • If a button is available, click to remove the button from your favourites.
3. Click  Edit Favourites to set your favourites.

   Either   Favourites On or  Favourites Off is displayed in the toolbar, depending on whether or not you were working in Favourites mode prior to choosing your favourites.

   Only the buttons included in your favourites are displayed on the Assistant panel. The toolsets are restored, although which of their original buttons are available depends on their inclusion in your favourites. If none of the buttons within a toolset are included in your favourites, the toolset is removed. If none of the buttons in an area of the Assistant panel are included in your favourites, the area is removed.

Using Labels

When you use Carveco for the first time, labels are displayed beside each button on the Assistant panel. The buttons are also arranged in such a way that their labels can be easily read. Thereafter, you can control whether to work with or without labels displayed.

To toggle labels on, click  in the Assistant panel's header.
When labels are hidden, the same description can be displayed as a tooltip whenever the cursor is positioned over a button.

When a toolset is pinned and labels are displayed, the buttons belonging to the toolset are stacked vertically with a shaded backdrop. The icon used to pin the contents of a toolset is positioned along the bottom of the shaded area.

To unpin the toolset, click along the bottom of the shaded area.

When a toolset is unpinned and labels are displayed, only the most recently used button within the toolset is shown along with its corresponding label.
The icon beside the button displays the other buttons in its toolset, and these are stacked vertically with a shaded backdrop. The icon used to pin the contents of a toolset is positioned along the bottom of the shaded area.

To pin the toolset, click  along the bottom of the shaded area.

If a button is not currently available when labels are toggled on, both the button and its label are greyed-out.
To toggle labels off, click  in the Assistant panel's header.

When a toolset is unpinned and labels are hidden, only the most recently used button within the toolset is shown. The other buttons in the toolset are hidden by default. Clicking the icon displays all buttons in a toolset, and these are adjacent horizontally. The icon used to pin the contents of a toolset is positioned along the right edge of the button currently shown.
