NX9 Customize Information Window

[LucasB5000]

Is it possible to customize the information window? I would like to use the "measure body" command and have the weight be displayed in pounds and kilograms at the same time, also different units for volume.

Aside; I would also like to eliminate all the little popup menus that show up when working on the model. These things are so annoying! When working on my model, all these little icons popup around the cursor. They get in the way of my mouse. So frustrating

No, the listing window is not customizable but if you don't actually close the window between doing an analysis but minimize it instead, all of the results will be shown in the same window. Then you can edit (delete) any unwanted stuff before you Print/Save the contents of the Listing Window. This way, you could do one analysis using say 'kg - mm' (Metric units), then minimize the window, switch to a different set of analysis units, say 'lbm - in' (Imperial units) and perform the same analysis and you will now have both sets of results in the same listing window.

As for what you call "those little icons popping-up around the cursor" could you be more specific? Are you talking about what you see when you simply select an item or the pop-up that shows you the name of the highlighted but not yet selected item?

I believe he's talking about the selection intent pop-up that follows your cursor (single curve, connected curves, etc.). I agree that it is very annoying, and to my knowledge can't be shut off. The trick I've found to avoid hitting it by mistake constantly is to pick from right to left. This will leave it trailing behind you instead of being in the way.

He could also be referring to the Shortcut Toolbars that appear near the icon after you make any pick. Refer to attached image.
