Rearranging the Object Toolbar
By default, the tools in the toolbar are arranged in a single column. Click the double arrow at the top of the toolbar to
make it horizontal or to arrange the tools in two columns.
Note: To make the toolbar horizontal, ensure that the toolbar is free-floating and is not grouped with any other panel.
To group the toolbar with a panel, drag it by its bar to the panel and drop it when you see a blue drop zone.
To make the toolbar free-floating, drag it out of the panel group using the two horizontal dotted lines at the top of the bar.
