Toolbox includes a collection of data tables that represent existing industrial and national standards. It is highly recommended that you create your own standard from one of the standards provided.
You manage standards using the Toolbox - Standards dialog box.
Toolbox distinguishes between basic and custom standards. In the Toolbox - Standards dialog box:
- Basic standards are listed with a flag (for example,
or 
). You cannot modify, rename, or delete basic standards.
- Custom standards are listed with a
symbol. You can copy any standard and save it as a new custom standard that you can edit, rename, or delete.
By default, Toolbox uses the basic standard ANSI Inch as the active standard. You can change the active standard by using the Activate command or select No active standard.
The commands you can use with a standard are determined by its type:
