Customizing Toolbars Unigraphics Utility NX

The display of the toolbars as well as the display of each element within a toolbar may be customized. The display of a toolbar may be controlled in one of two ways: 
-Choose Tools→Customize from the main menu bar to access the Customize dialog. On the Toolbars page, choose the check box next to the toolbar name to display or hide it. The toolbars with a check are currently displayed. 
-Use the Third Mouse Button (MB3) within the NX window but outside the graphics window, to display a menu of all toolbars. The toolbars listed with a check box are displayed. Choosing a toolbar name with the First Mouse Button (MB1) will turn it on or off. The Customize option may be selected to access the Customize dialog 
-To turn on and off the display of icons within a toolbar, select the Toolbar Options area of the toolbar and choose Add or Remove Buttons, and the toolbar name. This will display a cascading menu with all of the available icons for the toolbar. Placing a check in the box next to the command will immediately display the icon in the appropriate toolbar. Removing the check will hide the icon.

Shortcut Keys Anchor Dockable Windows AutoCAD

The palette edge is the docking anchor. Once snapped together, you can drag all of them at once, provided you grab the palette at top left. The ability to anchor dockable windows is one of the best new features in AutoCAD. In case you haven’t noticed, there has been a proliferation of dockable windows in recent AutoCAD releases. These include the following: a Advanced Settings Dialog Command Line, Dashboard, dbConnect Manager, Design Center, External References, Info Palette, Lights In Model, Materials, Markup Set Manager, Properties, Quick Calculator, Sheet Set Manager, Sun Properties, Tool Palettes, Visual Style Manager. With all these dockable windows competing for space on screen, there is now officially no room left for drawing. Autodesk probably figured that it couldn’t just tell everyone to go out and buy three more monitors, so it invented the anchor feature. Right-click the vertical title bar of any palette (or, more correctly, dockable window), and toggle on Allow Docking, if it’s not already on. Repeat, and choose Anchor Left or Anchor Right. The best thing about anchoring is that you can anchor multiple dockable windows on each side of the screen without sacrificing any more pixels. Hover the mouse over any labeled anchored dock, and the associated palettes expand, filling all the available space. Anchoring is the most efficient way to work with dockable windows. Try anchoring as many palettes on the edges of the screen as your display resolution allows. You’ll have instant access to most of the UI without having to hunt for palettes in the menu or, worse yet, try to remember shortcut keys.

Toolbars and commands Solidworks Desktop

· Posted in , , , , ,

When we open a new Part document you get additional toolbars and pull-down menus. Toolbars and commands are context sensitive. The commands that are available and related to what the user is doing are in color and the commands that are not available are shown gray. A new toolbar is the View Heads Up toolbar, at the top-center of the Graphics Area . It can be customized, as we shall see later. The question mark at the lower-right corner can be clicked to get help.
