SMS:Help or Status Window
There are two status bars: one at the bottom of the SMS application window and a second attached to the Main Graphics Window.
Help Bar
The status bar, also called the help bar, attached to the main application window shows help messages when the mouse hovers over a tool or an item in a dialog box. This bar is usually empty when not hovering over a tool or item and when not performing an action.
At times, it also may display a message in red text to prompt for specific actions, such as that shown in the figure below. Typically, messages in red appear when in the process of completing an action.
Coordinates Bar
The second status bar, also called the coordinates bar, is attached to the Main Graphics Window. This bar is split into two separate panes.
The left shows the mouse coordinates when the model is in plan view. Coordinates are displayed in standard X,Y,Z coordinates.
The right pane shows information for selected entities.
