Relocating the Feature Manager

Relocating the Feature Manager

Relocating the Feature Manager

(OP)
Hello,

I think I have seen this somewhere on the forum but unable to find the proper thread.

My question is " Is there any way to move the Feature Manager from Left side to the Right side of the screen?"

I found a thread where in The FM icons can be moved from top to bottom by changing the registry settings. Is there any such registry setting for moving Left to Right?

Thanks for any help in advance.

One of my designer is Left-handed and would luv to see FM on the right side. But.....

Thanks Jason.

RE: Relocating the Feature Manager

I don't understand what being left-handed has to do with the Feature Manager position, but if it's that big a deal for him/her, give him/her a dual monitor setup. The monitors could then be switched.

Dual Monitor Useage w/ Solid Works?

RE: Relocating the Feature Manager

I don't understand why you'd want to move the FM anyway...It's not like you'd get more graphics area...

BTW, I'm a lefty and can't think of any reason that I'd want the FM on the right side...

RE: Relocating the Feature Manager

If you do figure out how to move it (which I don't think you can), most likely it will move back to the left during the next update.
My suggestion? Get used to how it is.

He said it makes it easier for him to read if it is on the RHS of the screen. I don't know if its true or not. Just trying to accommodate as much I can.

Cheers,

What we would probobly all like would be to have all of our menus movable (like Adobe if you have used before) this way you can have you graphics screen by it's self and the meues off to the side. The best case would be have monitor with the menus and the other with the graphic screen.
