Shortcut Toolbar disapairs when move the cursor the "wrong" way 1

[CADMANSOUTH]

Hi
If I click on two curves in Sketch the Shortcut Toolbar shows up with constraint options.
If I move my cursor the "wrong" way the Shortcut toolbar.

Is there a way I can make the Shortcut Toolbar show up again without un-selecting the curves and reselecting the curves?

I'm using NX8.5

If you place the cursor back over the top of any of the selected curves so that it highlights again then press MB3 and both the Shortcut Toolbar and the full Pop-Up Menu will be displayed. Granted, it's not just the Shortcut Toolbar alone, but you didn't have to start over either.

Any plans on having this issue fixed? I have been hearing and reading some complaints about that behavior...

I suspect that if a PR is opened that it will be closed as "working as intended".

The fact that that the Shortcut Toolbar disappears IS the intended behavior since we knew users would not like it if it stayed on the screen and people had to work around it, and I would guess that the idea was that if someone needed to see it again that the highlight and MB3 steps were seen as a reasonable action to take. But if you want to call GTAC, go ahead.

Hi John,
Thanks, that is the answer I needed.

By the way, my number 1 way of working is to use the radial tool bars. I think I saw the radial toolbars in NX3 but I did not start using them till NX6.

Now that I understand how to bring back the Shortcut Toolbar I hope to get in the habit of using the Shortcut TBs.

I agree, CADMANSOUTH, however, they aren't very intuitive when you customize them. For example, if you add View Dependent Edit to the Drafting View Shortcut TB, you will have to do it for every view type (Auxiliary, Section, Detail, etc.). Would be nice if you could take care of all view types at once.

I'm not sure if modeling Shortcut TBs are like that with, say, preselecting an edge and having Edge Blend always show up regardless of edge type or ID.
