Help with greyed out commands

Help with greyed out commands

RE: Help with greyed out commands

Make sure you are in the Modeling Module and not Gateway.
Also make sure you are not in an active sketch.
I had that problem too, a few weeks ago. After logging off (for the day) and then back on (the next day) the commands were no longer greyed out.

RE: Help with greyed out commands

That toolbar, is it homemade ?
Chances are that you have added commands( icons) to the toolbar which only are active when a sketch is active and vice versa. ( the toolbar might not be visible when a sketch is active etc. )

Regards,
Tomas

RE: Help with greyed out commands

Actually those commands look like they might be Sketch commands. Is it possible that when you created your toolbar that you included sketch commands but now you're not in a sketch so they are not available?

RE: Help with greyed out commands

(OP)
Hi,

Thank you for the responses. It is a 'homemade' toolbar, and I am in
modelling.
I went into customize again and deleted them. They were inserted from
the 'All commands'category. I then input them from the 'menu' category,
and they are operating normally. Not quite sure why that worked?
Best regards
