- To add the created macro-tool to this toolbar, select it in the left window and then click the Button with the arrow pointing right.
- You have created now a toolbar called "Camera" (with the Macro-tool Camera in it)
- Click the Close button.
- Your new toolbar is now contained in the toolbars' right-click menu. Its Icons (in our example only the camera) are visible, if the toolbar is activated (blue checkmark).
