Std Base
Introduction
Std Base is not really a workbench, but rather a category of 'standard' commands and tools that can be used in all workbenches.
Tools
Most Std Base tools can be accessed from the standard menu. Those that are only available via a toolbar or a context menu are listed under Additional tools.
The standard menu is composed of 7 sub-menus. Each sub-menu has a dedicated page. Just click on any of the names below.
