== Toolbars , Menus & Windows ==
[[RF.Spice A/D]] is mainly controlled by the Toolbox and [[Toolbars]]. [[Toolbars | Toolbars]] are collections of icons that are shortcuts to menu commands, and are located below the [[menus]]. [[RF.Spice A/D]] has a [[main toolbar]] which is common to all modes of operation and is used to control file and simulation functions. It also has two other window-specific [[toolbars]] to control other functions available for specific [[windows]]. [[Toolbars#Schematic_Toolbar |Schematic Toolbar]] appears only when a schematic is the active window. [[Toolbars#Graph_Toolbar |Graph Toolbar]] appears only when a graph is the active window. For a more information on each toolbar, follow these links:
* [[Toolbars#Schematic_Toolbar | Schematic Toolbar]]
* [[Toolbars#Graph_Toolbar | Graph Toolbar]]

== Windows ==Another important visual element of [[RF.Spice A/D]] is its menu bar located at the top of the screen underneath the title bar. [[Menus | Menus]] provide another convenient way to access many different functions such as file and edit operations, view settings, simulation, as well as a large number of generic parts passive and active elements, digital parts and virtual blocks. The contents of the menu bar changes depending on the active window: Â * [[Menus#Schematic_Editor_Menus | Schematic Editor Menus]] * [[Menus#Graph_View_Menus | Graph View Menus]] * [[Menus#Table_View_Menus | Table View Menus]] Â <table><tr><td> [[File:b2MAN_Fig17.png|thumb|400px|RF.Spice A/D Schematic Menu]] </td></tr><tr><td> [[File:b2MAN_Fig18.png|thumb|400px|RF.Spice A/D Graph and Table Menus]] </td></tr></table>
[[RF.Spice A/D]] has changed the way [[windows | windows]] are arranged and appear. The biggest difference is that now all [[windows]] are "tabs" in a larger Project window. Projects contain all the files associated with a particular circuit, including any graphs, netlists, and other related files. All Project files will appear in one window with the different Project files as Tab at the bottom left of the window. If you load a new circuit, it will automatically open in a new Project Window. More than one Project can be open at once. To switch to a different view, just click on the Tab that you wish to view. If you right click on a window tab, you will get the contextual pop-up menu, from which you can choose to close the Tab, add a new Tab, or rename the Tab.
The Project window can be arranged so that the Tabs are displayed side by side or one atop another. To do so select the layout you wish from the Layout button in the toolbar. Any layout chosen will arrange the Tab [[windows]] as indicated by the icon in the menu only for that project. If there are not enough tabs to split as chosen by the Layout button, the program will leave that pane empty. You can then fill it up with new tabs that you create. You can also drag existing [[windows]] to the empty frames. To move [[windows]], drag the window tab to the window that you wish to move the existing window to.
