# 2.7 Hot Bar

The Hot Bar is a scrolling list of all the turnouts, sectional track and structures available through the Turnout (Section 2.1.8) and Structure (Section 2.1.7) commands. The Description and/or Part Number under each object can be displayed by enabling the Hot Bar Labels radio button on the Display (Section 2.10.3) dialog.

The arrow buttons on either side of the Hot bar move the list one object to the right or left. Holding down the Shift key will move the list by greater amounts. About eight Shift+Clicks are required to move the list through the entire range of objects. Also, pressing the keys 1 through 9 and 0 will cause the Hot Bar to jump relative spots on the list.

A Right-Click over the Hot Bar will display a pop-up menu listing the contents of the Hot Bar. Selecting an item from this list causes the Hot Bar to jump to the relative spot on the list.

Objects on the Hot Bar are placed on the drawing canvas by first clicking on the object, Dragging it the Main window, positioning it then pressing the Space key to set it in place.
