xpQuickTools are a set of quick-access presets and workflow enhancement tools.

The Quick Tools command can be found in the main X-Particles menu.

Clicking it will open the Quick Tools dialog box; this window is non-modal so can easily be docked in the user interface, if desired.

xpQuickTools are divided into five categories, which can each be accessed via their own tab: Particle FX; Fluids & Grains; Smoke, Fire & Advection, Trails and Workflow.

To use a tool, simply click its icon.

You can also hover over each icon to display a tool tip, indicating what the tool does and how to use it.
