Organizing the palettes
Organizing the palettes
(OP)
Hello,
I would like to organize the palettes (that appear on the left side) to better suit my workflow. Things I would like to achieve is:
-ability to remove certain system palettes (eg. Materials Library and Internet Explorer)
-ability to change the order of custom visualization materials
-ability to add folders to better organize custom visualization materials

RE: Organizing the palettes
That being said, there IS a way to remove the Internet Explorer tab from the Resource Bar. Go to...
Customer Defaults -> Gateway -> User Interface -> General
...and if you leave the Web Browser fields BLANK that tab will be removed from the Resource Bar.
And if you go to...
Preferences -> Palettes...
...and select the 'System Materials' palette you will note that a 'Delete' option is enabled.
But that's about it as far as the default out-of-the-box palettes are concerned. Of course, any user defined palette can be removed anytime you wish.

RE: Organizing the palettes
Sorry i have not much to add here but for organising the materials in part you can create new palletes and then copy and paste (from the materials in parts) the materials accordingly in those palletes so this will act as folders for specific material groups.I know it will further lengthen the resource bar but as of now i am aware of this workaround only.Also you wont be able to edit the pasted materials (that is the reason why i copy it rather then cut)

If accepatble to you then you can try editing the palette name and may be try changing the BMP attached to it also.(i am attaching an image herewith.)
