Why are some important tools in NX 8 are hidden?

Why are some important tools in NX 8 are hidden?

(OP)
Some important tools in NX8 are hidden by default. I was able to find them by searching in command finder. Can you recommend any procedure to display these tools in the toolbar. I would be very helpful if anyone give me the solution.

If you still feel, after taking Anthony's advice, that something which you consider as being "important" is still hidden by default, please let us know what these items might be as many have been hidden for a good reasons, and we'd like to hear your take on this. After all, we can't turn everything on or your display would look something like this:

If one of the out of the box roles does not suit you, just a reminder that you are free to customize the menus and toolbars, and then save your own role.

Or just turn on everything like John did ;*)

oh but don't forget . . . you can dock on the sides and the bottom if you want so it doesn't look as cluttered as John's smile

I just noticed the CAM toolbars are missing - room for 9 more?
