You have set a ridiculously small grid size of 0.001 in, so the number of grid lines needed to cover the sketch is very large. Either shut off the grid or pick a more suitable spacing. G...

The toolbars will expand only if there is some content that is hidden. This is indicated by the >> in the toolbar.


If you do not see the double chevron there is nothing else to show.
