Tool Palette Features
Both the standard tool palettes (Basic and Tool Sets) and any custom tool palettes have special features that other palettes do not. Tool palettes and their tool sets can be created and customized using the Workspace Editor (see Creating or Editing a Workspace).
Pop-out Tools
On tool palettes, an arrow on the right side of a tool icon or label indicates additional, related pop-out tools. Click and hold down the mouse button to open the menu of pop-out tools.
Utility Menus
Each tool palette has a button at the bottom that opens a utility menu, which controls the palette and tool display.
 
Tool Set Selection Buttons and Tear-off Palettes
If a tool palette has multiple tool sets (as does the Tool Sets palette), selection buttons for each tool set display on the palette. To display a tool set’s tools, click the appropriate button. The button is highlighted to indicate which tool set is active.
To see multiple tool sets at once, drag a tool set’s selection button off the main palette. This creates a separate, temporary palette for the tool set, with a “perforated” top edge. Like other palettes, these tear-off palettes can be docked, resized, and minimized. To close a tear-off palette, click its close button. On Windows, a docked tear-off palette does not have a perforated edge; instead, it has a special close button in the shape of a curved arrow.
