[[File:b2MAN_Fig15.png|thumb|700px|RF.Spice A/D Schematic Toolbar]]
The [[Toolbars#Schematic_Toolbar|Schematic Toolbar]] only appears if a schematic is the active window.
To learn more about building schematics in [[RF.Spice A/D]], see the section on [[Working with Schematic Editor]].
<b>Basic Functions</b>
Select Tool: This is the most commonly used tool and sets the [[Schematic Editor]]'s default normal "Select Mode". This mode will automatically be activated if you deactivate any of the other tools in the toolbar. You can also switch to the normal select mode using the Escape (Esc) Key. In this mode, you can open objects' property dialog by double-clicking on their symbol. Double-click on text blocks to edit them. Using the Select tool, you can drag out a rectangle around a group of devices, segments, and texts to select the group of them.
Wire Tool: This tool is used to draw the line segments that make up the wires. It starts a new segment every time you click down, and ends when you double-click or click the right mouse button.
Text tool: Place text and labels on the circuit.
Probe tool: Allows you to probe wire states in a [[Digital Simulation|digital simulation]].
<b>View Functions</b>
Show/Hide Grid: Toggle the display of the schematic's grid.
Snap To Grid: Toggle [[Schematic Editor]]'s Snap-to-Grid feature. When depressed, the device pins and wires will always line up with grid points. When turned off, device pins and wires can be placed arbitrarily at any point.
Show/Hide Node Names: Toggles the display of node names on the schematic.
Show/Hide Part Values: Toggles the display of part values on the schematic, such as resistance, capacitance, etc.
Show Voltage Text: Toggles the display of circuit [[animation]]'s voltage text during a live analog simulation.
Show Voltage Graphics: Toggles the display of circuit [[animation]]'s voltage graphics during a live analog simulation.
Show Current Text: Toggles the display of circuit [[animation]]'s current text during a live analog simulation.
Show Current Graphics: Toggles the display of circuit [[animation]]'s current graphics during a live analog simulation.
Show Power Text: Toggles the display of circuit [[animation]]'s power text during a live analog simulation.
Show Power Graphics: Toggles the display of circuit [[animation]]'s power graphics during a live analog simulation.
Toggle Perpendicular Wiring: Toggles the restricted perpendicular wiring mode. When depressed, wires are only allowed to be at 90-degree angles. When turned off, wires can take any arbitrary angle.
Probe Menu: This drop-down menu allows you to place various types of voltage or current probes on your circuit. Select a probe type. The cursor shape changes to a small red probe. Drag and place it on a node in the case of a voltage probe, or place it on a device pin in the case of a current probe.
Layout Menu: This drop-down menu allows you to select how to display the [[windows]] and partition the workspace.
Zoom Drop-down List: This drop-down menu allows you to quickly set the zoom level instead of using the magnifying glass to zoom in and out. Click the Zoom button and a drop down list of pre-set zooms will appear. Click on one to apply it.
Show/Hide Live Digital Timing Diagrams: Toggles the display of the live timing diagram window at the bottom of the screen during a [[Digital Simulation|digital simulation]].
Show/Hide Instruments: Toggles the display of the [[Virtual Instruments]] panel, allowing more schematic area to be displayed when hidden.
