The most commonly used menu commands are available from the Toolbars. Click on a button to activate the command; right click on any button to see related commands and extended features.

When you install CC3, you have the option of using just a Simple toolbar. This is a great way to get familiar with CC3, and includes the tools most commonly used for mapping. You can swap between the simple and full interface.

You can control the appearance and location of the toolbars using $image\tools.gif$
