  2. On the Toolbars tab, click New.

    The New Toolbar popup dialog opens.

  3. Enter the name for your new toolbar in the text box. This text displays in the title bar for the new toolbar, when you select to undock the toolbar in the erwin® Data Modeler workplace. Click OK.

    Your new toolbar name appears in the list of toolbars in the Customize dialog.

  4. Select the toolbar name, then click the Commands tab.
  5. Select a category, and drag the command icon out of the dialog to your new toolbar.

    Your new toolbar is populated with the commands you choose.

Note: Another approach to using this functionality is to customize an existing toolbar. For example, remove the icons for the functionality that you do not use frequently. You can also hide a toolbar using the option on the View, Toolbars menu.
