"Want to eliminate any need to even switch toolbars...
Just turn on EVERY SINGLE ICON, that should do it, eh?"
Good one, John! Love it!
Like capnhook, I deplore excessive clicks but unfortunately classic toolbar configuration and management became a total nightmare for me. I was spending waaaay too much time configuring it like that and if using import it will not account for new menu picks so that's out of the question too. Also I seem to recall a special menu in manufacturing which would not even display in classic! As for the same thing happening in design i cannot be sure. I bailed on classic tool bars as soon as I heard they were obsoleted but I soon found out that heavily customization of the ribbon posed similar problems as the classic toolbar; namely, migration issues. My drafting and manufacturing ribbons look nice but trying to eliminate an extra click or two in the modeling bar proved to be time consuming and I doubt I will heavily customize my ribbon in NX11, other than adding a few custom drop downs.
Making my own drop downs proved completely too time consuming so while in customize mode I simply dragged drop downs from the Menu drop to populate my modeling ribbon; design features, detail features, curve creation/editing, surface creation/editing and synchronous...all in the modeling ribbon but when doing so the drop down display an ugly empty square icon, not a function icon. So the result is quite ugly but it works and it still took some time to set up.
Like I mentioned earlier I will most likely not heavily customize the ribbon in NX11 other than adding a few of my own drop downs and journal buttons. IMO the classic bar's time has passed.
