	Capture the graphic area. You may either copy the 3D view window content to the clipboard or save it as a Bitmap file.
	Print an object.
	Display information about DeepLines.
	Display the Context help topic associated with an object in the GUI. Click this button then while the '?' symbol is shown next to the mouse pointer, click a GUI object such as a button. Note, not all items have context help.
	Open the QA Information pane corresponding to the .DSK model file currently opened.
	Pressing this button opens the Hydrodynamic Database files viewer.
	Open the Lines checker, which enables to check lines properties.
	Tile windows horizontally.
	Tile windows vertically.
	Define a zoom box in the 3D View window. Click this button, and then drag the mouse over the 3D View window while holding the left mouse button pressed to define a rectangular zoom box. Tip : The zoom box may also be displayed by holding the SHIFT key + left mouse button and dragging the mouse over the 3D View window
	New Analysis
	New Analysis set
	New Fatigue analysis
	Opens the Launch Analysis form which allows running selected analyses.

	Open the post-processing module
	Create a zone study
	Display the sea surface as a simple grid.
	Open the animation player
	Export result files
	Displace any object or primary point in the horizontal plane. Click this button, select the object or primary point from the 3D view window, and drag it to a new position (move the mouse while holding the left mouse button pressed).
	Displace any object or primary point vertically. Click this button, select the object or primary point from the 3D view window, and drag it to a new position (move the mouse while holding the left mouse button pressed).
	Connect two connection points. Click this button, select the first point to be connected (displays in red) with the mouse, and then the second point (displays in green). Press the ESC key to abort the operation.
	Insert primary point.
	Delete multiple objects from the model. Once you have clicked this button, a dialog displays that presents the list of existing objects in your model. Select which objects you want to remove and then press the Delete button.
	Delete multiple line types from the model. Once you have clicked this button, a dialog displays that presents the list of existing line types in your model. Select which line types you want to remove and then press the Delete button.
	Delete multiple analysis from the model. Once you have clicked this button, a dialog displays that presents the list of existing analysis in your model. Select which analysis you want to remove and then press the Delete button.

Icon	Description
	Create a new Floater (FPSO, CALM buoy, Semisub, SPAR, Drill ship, Drill Semi, Generic floater). Default is FPSO.
	Creates a new line. Pressing the arrow on the right side of the button allows to further specify the type of line which can be either Flexible line, Generic line, Drilling riser, Trelline, Winch or Pipe with bends. Default is Generic line. Series of lines components may also be imported to the GUI from special formatted text files, by using the Create from mesh menu item. This option is for instance useful when generating lines

	Import-Export between model files. This button is enabled when two models are opened in the GUI.
	Show local axes
	Show local axes along Line components. This button is enabled only when a simulation results file is opened. Clicking this buttno brings a dataform in which you may select the Line Components along which you would like to display the local axes. Displaying the local axes along Line components allows identifying bending axes and torsion along Line components.
