To add commands from another toolbar to your new toolbar, see step 8. To add menu commands to your toolbar, click on the Commands tab. This forces the new toolbar behind the Customize dialog, so you might have to drag the Customize dialog to the side to find your new toolbar.

Find the command to add to your toolbar in the Commands list. The Categories list on the left represents the Enterprise Architect menu structure; the Commands list updates each time you click on a different category.

Notes
| • | You can select the Show text labels checkbox to display textual descriptions of toolbar items |
| • | You can add as many commands to your toolbar as required; your new toolbar behaves the same way as other toolbars - you can position it next to the other toolbars at the top of the application workspace, dock it to the side of the workspace or close it |
| • | On the Customize dialog, you can customize all the listed toolbars except for the Format Tool toolbar (which is actually tied to displayed diagrams) |
