Creating Custom Toolbar Buttons

If you have a string of commands that you use frequently, it can be beneficial to make a custom toolbar button. To create a custom toolbar button open the Tools->Options menu. You can create up to 10 custom buttons. See Figure 1 for an example toolbar button.

The button can have Python or Cubit commands. The first line of Python commands must be #!python. These commands will be executed in consecutive order when the button is pushed. You must click the Enabled check box to activate your custom button.

You can assign a pixmap to your custom buttons or use the default. You can also assign a tool tip.

The buttons are persistent from each run of cubit. To remove a button, uncheck the Enabled button.
