The Main Toolbar

Throughout RayEval, the main tool bar is visible, which, dependent on the contents of the view shown adds or removes menu items dynamically. As a rule of thumb, the items shown below are always present on the main tool bar.

 

RayEval Main Toolbar Numbered

 

1.FILE

This opens the FILE menu. The FILE menu is dynamically created, dependent on what tool is currently active. Please refer to the the FILE menu section to read more about it.

 

2.View history

With a left-click on the arrow button, users navigate one step back within the history of recently opened views. Right-clicking the arrow displays the recently visited views, and allows to return to a specific view from that list. This view history is limited to those views without project relation, or with relation to the currently opened project. Thus, returning back to a view is not possible if it was called for a project that is no longer opened.

Choosing this button will return you to the Home Screen. If any projects and or files are opened and there is a requirement to save any changes, you will be prompted to save before returning to the Home Screen.
