Customise Command Ribbon in ST3

Customise Command Ribbon in ST3

Customise Command Ribbon in ST3

(OP)
Just thought you all might like to see a quick video showing how the command ribbons will be able to be customised in ST3.

Video was kindly shared by Dan Staples

RE: Customise Command Ribbon in ST3

Neat, but it would be nicer if I could move the ribbons to my 2nd monitor.

RE: Customise Command Ribbon in ST3

ProDarwin, I think that would be too much mouse travel!

RE: Customise Command Ribbon in ST3

Very nice, but it's still a crap interface!

Where would we be without sat-nav?

RE: Customise Command Ribbon in ST3

burhop, hope you are kidding...  

V20 with all of my buttons on the right screen (home) is 10x faster to navigate than ST2 (work).

RE: Customise Command Ribbon in ST3

I like this type of customization; it's a shame that we have to wait so long.

Moving ribbons around.
I'm with ProDarwin on this one. Being right handed with a lazy left eye winky smile I do prefer to have all mouse actions to the right of my main screen or on the dual to my right.
I quite often drop the Pathfinder on to the right-hand screen, especially on large assemblies.


 

RE: Customise Command Ribbon in ST3

Am I seeing this right - we now have a 'Solids' group that doesn't actually show us the commands on it, or has that interface already been customised?
That's another click required to open the group.
I REALLY hate this jumbled mess of different coulours and sizes.
Please Siemens, drop this garbage now and get back to something clean and simple - it looks like a primary school colouring book.

RE: Customise Command Ribbon in ST3

BC,

no, only in this case: the screen is not wide enough and thus
Windows did collapse the Solid group. It will do it from right
to left until all 'groups/buttons' fit. Also keep in mind that
this in from an early stage of development

RE: Customise Command Ribbon in ST3

ProDarwin,

Sorry,I misunderstood. Since ribbons are horizontal, I pictured you moving the whole thing to another monitor - so unless your monitors are stacked, I couldn't think of a way it would be useful.

Sound like what you really meant was to move all the buttons to another monitor (probably in a vertical layout).

RE: Customise Command Ribbon in ST3

This is great, but the fact is, it should have already been included in ST with the ribbon's introduction.

Basically, SE users lost functionality between V20 and ST3, and had to wait 3 years (3 years!!!!) to get true UI customizing back. And what about those who've since stopped subscription and are stuck with ST's poor UI?

The whole Ribbon saga is not only baffling, but infuriating.

RE: Customise Command Ribbon in ST3

Gemnoc,

This is true, I'm seriously considering dropping Maintenance this year (due Sept) so far I have paid 3 years. Which in New Zealand equates to $10,000.

In hindsight I should have stuck with V20, then reinvested in ST20 winky smile in a few years.

The savings would have been considerable, could have brought my wife a new car winky smile
