Switching between NX9 ribbon menus with key strokes... Is this possible?
Switching between NX9 ribbon menus with key strokes... Is this possible?
(OP)
Ex: Toggling between "HOME" "ASSEMBLIES" "CURVE" With key stroke "H" "A" & "C"
Trying to get rolling with this new GUI but feel like I'm clicking all the time. Used to just be switching from Modeling to Drafting $ Sheet metal.
Once there I was fine... big displays have a lot of space to place tool bars in. Seems like the Ribbon is better suited for smaller displays that
cant layout enough of your most used tools. My 2 cents...
Embracing the future regardless.
TIA

How much more clicking are you doing, if you had to give a rough estimate on pecentage?

To the Toolmaker, your nice little cartoon drawing of your glass looks cool, but your solid model sucks. Do you want me to fix it, or are you going to take all week to get it back to me so I can get some work done?

Out of the box... Ribbons are definitely deeper in terms of finding things though. You've got to click on an "application", Then a "drop down", then a "more"
Just to find something common that's tucked away. That is a lot of clicking...
But I'm customizing and that will help a lot.
It's taking time to sort out how to merge the old disciplines with the new. I do like the large icons though. I'm using them to bring the heavily used commands forward. Small Icons for the next usage tier down, galleries for the least and so on...
If I can keystroke between ribbon menus that would allow me to leverage them much better. For now I'm trying to get as much on the "home" menu as possible.

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

Sometimes I would just like to go back to the AutoCad "Command Line"
I've been away from designing in that product since NX1. But to this day I'm still OK regardless of the menu changes.
The number of functions I had programmed in "Autolisp" made me so efficient on the keyboard. Once I load them up, I'm off to the races.
NX is very limited in that regard... but if it had a command line I would be rocking it! I hate clicking.

Are you limited to one monitor, or do you use two?

I would say I've got 2 1/2 days in exploring & goofing around. But in that time I got all my own groups, galleries & tool bars created and organized.
As of this morning I'm ready to start working again.
For what its worth I'm very fussy about my stuff, my lack of brain power demands that I have intimacy with my work space!
RE: Switching between NX9 ribbon menus with key strokes... Is this possible?
If it were possible to toggle between menus with keystrokes I would have set it up differently than I did. I was waffling on how to proceed Till John cleared that up for me.
