View and Operation toolbar in catia v5

VIEW TOOLBAR:

Fit All In :- The Fit All In tool is used to display all sketched elements or geometries in the visible space. If a drawing consists of dimensions that are beyond the visible space, invoking this tool will also include them in the visible space.

Pan :- The Pan tool is used to drag the current view in the geometry area. This option is generally used to display the elements or part of the elements that are outside the geometry area without actually changing the magnification of the current drawing.

Zoom In :- The Zoom In tool is used to zoom in the sketches in increments.

Zoom Out :- The Zoom Out tool is used to zoom out of the sketch in increments.

Zoom Area :- The Zoom Area tool is used to define an area, which is to be magnified and viewed in the available geometry area. The area is defined using the two diagonal points of a rectangular box in the geometry area.

Normal View :- The Normal View tool is used to orient the view normal to the view direction, if its orientation is different.

Multi View :- The Create Multi-View tool is used to split the drawing area into four viewports.

Hide and Showing Geometric Elements:- The Hide/Show tool is used to hide sketcher elements or geometric elements from the current display.

Swapping Visible Space:- The hidden elements are stored in a space different from the current display space. To view the space where the hidden elements are stored.

OPERATION TOOLBAR:

Trim:- Trim tool to remove the unwanted intersected portion of a sketched element. Choose the Trim tool from the Relimitations sub-toolbar in the Operation toolbar.

Quick Trim:- The Quick Trim tool is used to quickly trim the unwanted sketched elements. To trim an element, choose the Quick Trim tool from the Relimitations sub-toolbar in the Operation toolbar.

Corner:- Corner tool is used to fillet the sketched element. Choose corner tool from the relimitation sub-toolbar in the operation toolbar

Chamfer:- This tool is used to chamfer the sketched elements.Choose chamfer tool from the relimitation sub-toolbar in the operation toolbar.

Mirror:- This tool is used to mirror the sketched element along with line. choose the Mirror tool from the Relimitations sub-toolbar in the Operation toolbar.

Symmetry:- The Symmetry tool mirrors the sketched elements about a mirror axis but deletes the original elements. choose the Symmetry button from Transformation sub-toolbar in the Operation toolbar.

Translate:- Translate tool is used to move the selected sketched elements from their initial position to the required place.

Rotate:- The Rotate tool is used to rotate the sketched elements around a rotation center point. Choose the Rotate button from Transformation sub-toolbar in the Operation toolbar.

Scale:- To scale the sketched elements, select them and then choose the Scale button from Transformation sub-toolbar in the Operation toolbar; the Scale Definition dialog box will be displayed, and you will be prompted to select the scaling center point. Select a point in the drawing window; you will be prompted to select a point to define the scaling value. You can define the scaling factor dynamically in the geometry area or set its value in the Value spinner in the Scale area of the Scale Definition dialog box.

Offset:- To offset the sketched elements, select them and then choose the Offset button from Transformation sub-toolbar in the Operation toolbar; the Sketch tools toolbar will expand. Specify the direction to offset the selected sketched elements and also the offset distance. Move the cursor on the side to which you want to specify the direction of the offset and then click in the geometry area; the selected element will be offset. You can also specify the offset distance in the Offset edit box in the expanded Sketch tools toolbar.
