Opening and Positioning the ICE Product Palette

Scroll Prev Top Next More

You can open the ICE Product Palette in ICEcad. In ICEcad, the ICE Product Palette is called the ICEcad Product Palette, and has the same folder structure as the Product Palette in ICE. Once you open the ICE Product Palette within ICEcad, you can draw and stamp items from ICE and installed catalogs in ICEcad. Since ICE and ICEcad are synchronized, whatever you draw automatically appears in in both applications.

 

After you open the ICEcad Product Palette, you can position and re-size, allowing for optimal use in ICEcad.

 

To Open and Position the ICE Product Palette in ICEcad

1.Click on ICE Palette on the ICEcad ribbon.
