Toolbar

The toolbar is available in both ActiveX versions of the geomap and 3D map. The toolbar in the 3D map has a reduced set of features. In the SAP UI5 version, there is no toolbar; hot keys are available instead.

Geomap (ActiveX)

The toolbar can be visible or invisible. You can relocate the toolbar or collapse it. If you have collapsed it, you can open it again and it will return to its previous position. Toolbar actions can also be performed by using keyboard hot keys.

The following figure shows the design of the toolbar: Toolbar_VB21

The features of the toolbar are outlined in the following table

The toolbar offers the following feature:
  • Navigation History

    Navigation steps (move, zoom, rotation, and tilting) are logged and can be retrieved for up to 10 steps. There is at least a gap of 1 second between the recordings of steps to avoid that minor steps are being recorded.

    To go backwards in the history, use the NavBack button for backward navigation in the toolbar or press the S key. The button is only active if there is a step that can be retrieved. Once you have gone backwards in the navigation history, the button for forward navigation is active. To navigate forward, use the NavForward button for forward navigation or press the D key.
