Map Toolbars

Toolbars around map borders can be activated/deactivated and placed/floated where you prefer. The toolbars provide shortcuts for program functions.

  • For any tool on a toolbar, the same functionality can always be found in a main menu ribbon.
  • Individual toolbars can be switched on and off. MIKE+ saves the current toolbar combination for the next MIKE+ session.
  • Activate a map toolbar by right-clicking on an active toolbar and selecting from the list of available map toolbars shown.

  • Re-set the displayed map toolbars on the main Map via the ‘Reset toolbars’ option from the Map local context menu (i.e. right-click on the main Map).

The displayed toolbars get automatically activated or de-activated (greyed-out) according to the presently active graphical window or dialog.

For customizing, see chapter Customizing the User Interface. Also see chapter Toolbars for details on tools and toolbars.
