There are many workbenches in CATIA. Each workbench has several toolbars available to suit your requirements and preferences. Depending on your monitor size and display resolution, your screen might not be able to display all the available toolbars. Fortunately, in CATIA you can customize the toolbars.
To launch a toolbar, select View tab > Toolbars, as shown:
The 
next to the name of the toolbar indicates that the toolbar is launched. To remove a toolbar, select the 
to clear the icon. Do not use the 
icon in the toolbar, because doing so may remove the toolbar entirely from the screen.
To restore the original positions of a toolbar, select the Tools tab > Customize > Toolbars (tab) > 
button, as shown:
Each toolbar contains a separator ( 
, 
). You can detach a toolbar from the application window by dragging its separator to a different location in the screen.
If more toolbars are launched than can be shown in the graphics window, double arrows appear at the corner of the screen, indicating that additional tools are available but are not visible.
An example image showing double arrows is shown here:
Either the separators or the double arrows can be used to reposition the toolbars on the screen.
