Tools->"Options" not showing up??

Tools->"Options" not showing up??

Tools->"Options" not showing up??

(OP)
I have had several cases where I have been working on a part or assembly and needed to change somthing under the "options" menu. The "options" link in the tools menu is not there. I have made sure the current command was closed and I am still having this happen. I can close the part and then  re-open and the options menu is available. Is this normal?

SP 1.1

Thanks
Tim

RE: Tools->"Options" not showing up??

At the bottom of the Tools pulldown there should be a "Customize Menu" option.  Select that and make sure tehre is a checkmark by Options.

You may have to do this in part and assembly mode.

RE: Tools->"Options" not showing up??

Go to tools > customize menu....the make sure it's checked.  I'm not sure if their is a user config file that saves the settings from each SWx session.  That was something I liked about Pro/e was the config file options.  I've worked through all the service packs and haven't found this to be a problem.

Do you trust your intuition or go with the flow?

RE: Tools->"Options" not showing up??

Don't know if anybody's had the same problem, but for me the "Options" item won't stay selected when you go to customize menu.  I select "Options" from the Customize Menu, then click somewhere else to get out of that menu, but options still does not appear in the menu.

Has anybody seen this?

RE: Tools->"Options" not showing up??

Never had a problem. How was SW2005 installed? Was it a clean install or was it updated from SW2004?

Just a thought..........

SW2005 was installed cleanly, not updated from 2004, though I do have 2004 installed seperately on the same machine.

I had the same problem on one of the beta releases for 2005, submitted the problem and it was fixed in the next beta, but it re-appeared in the released version.
