Help Finding Catia Tools
(OP)
I'm pretty new to CATIA, and this past week was taking an online course on it. In this course I would remotely log onto the teacher's computer and run CATIA from there. I've since purchased V5.21 Student Edition and am running it from my own computer. Naturally none of the toobars and tools are where they were when I was running it from the instructor's machine.
I've been driving myself crazy trying to find the tool to offset a line or profile in both directions. I thought it would be under the same flyout as the single-direction offset in the "Operation" toolbar, but it seems I'm mistaken. A handful of searches on this forum and the google-machine have yielded nothing, perhaps because this is such a remedial question.
Do I need to be using a certain tool or workbench?
Also, I'm looking to take the CATIA Part Design Specialist test soon. So any help finding icons A and D in question 7 seen in these example questions would also be appreciated. (Despite what this post indicates, I'm a reasonably capable designer with experience using other programs - I just can't find these silly icons)
Thank you in advance.

Best idea it would be to look into CATIA documentation for what you need (icons representation, I believe you can find it at any chapters end), check also with Google (an example here )

Does anybody know a way to put this tool in another toolbar such that it's always visible and easily accessible? The icon that reads "both side offset" when you hover over it with the mouse. I am already aware of View>Toolbars>Customize and the Customize option when you right click on a toolbar. But I am looking to get this command in particular and I can't find it under the list of commands in toolbar customization. Nor do I see it under Sketch tools when I'm in the Customize toolbars window.
Perhaps this is because it's moreso an option of offset, rather than it's own independent command?
