Std Base
Introduction
The Std Base is not a real workbench. This page just collects all commands from the base system which do not belong to a specific workbench, but which may be used in all of them.
The base commands and functions normally start with the prefix Std, indicating that they are "standard".
Tools
Most of the commands in this page can be accessed from menus, toolbars, and context menus.
The Standard Menu is composed of seven sub-menus.
Structure toolbar
These commands allow structuring the model tree to have better organization of the existing shapes, and to create "Links" which are useful to create assemblies.
