Tools and Tool Stacks The ADAMS/View (Classis View) Main Toolbox is comprised of tools and stacks. Tool stacks hold two or more tools and have a default tool that appears on top of the stack. A small triangle in the bottom right corner of the tool indications that it serves as a tool stack .To expand a tool stack, right click on it. This page identifies all the tools and tool stacks. The following pages show the expanded tool stacks. Rigid body tool stack Select Tool Undo/Redo tool stack Color tool stack Move tool stack Fit tool Dynamic Rotation tool stack View Front/bock tool stack Isometric view Background color tool stack Measure tool stack Simulate tool Joint tool stack Animate tool Motion tool stack Plotting tool Zoom box tool Create forces tool stack Center tool Zoom in/out tool Translate tool stack View right/left tool stack View top/bottom tool stack Measure tool stack Align view to object Y tool Window layout tool stack Toggle tool stack
