Context menus are floating menus that are accessed by right-clicking on elements in the user interface. They provides immediate access to a short list of commands that are contextually relevant to the selection.
Guide bars guide you through a series of commands, required inputs, and options necessary to complete a workflow that is specific to a tool.
The Tcl Console enables you to enter and execute Tcl/Tk commands instead of using the user interface.
The HWC Console, with the command line, supports auto-completion and interactive help and allows easy modification and re-execution of commands.
The Message Log lists the actions performed in the current session. The dialog also provides you with information about your file (warnings, errors, and so on).
Command files can be used to create new command scripts that perform automation, or to recover previously performed steps.
Certain parts of the user interface, such as browsers, toolbars, and panels, can be undocked and repositioned as needed.
View controls enable you to control the view and display of your model in the modeling window.
Quickly find and open the tools, panels, and browsers that are available from the ribbons or from the Utility Browser, as well as create entities and solver cards.
