Customized toolbox

Anonymous — Tue, 05 Sep 2006 09:29:39 GMT

Hi everyone !
I work on AC10 and I'm willing to build my own toolbox with my favourite tools but....it seems that it is not possible to have ALL the functions available.
Depending on the work environment you're working in, you see certain tools but never all of them.
Am I missing something ?
Thanx for the help.

I mean "customized toolbar" not toolbox...

You can set your own work environment to see what ever you want. I personally don't change work environments. Set it up how you want it and walk away...I am curious if any other users buy off on Graphisofts notion that you might use a different work environment for different aspects of a project.

Agreed Mike, I cannot see any benefit from moving out of your familiar comfort zone.
It's a pity that GS wont leave well alone when upgrades are released, particularly with familiar common menu names/locations.

I try not to use different tool bar settings. Any time I spend on tweaking them is just to try and get them back to the way I had them.

I like the ability to make my own tool bars, but after that, I get tired of having to constantly reset them. They seem to get mixed up on there own.

Yes, I know how to save my settings, but I still manage to get it screwed up too often. I am usualy in way to big a hurry to fix it so i just keep working with the toolbars as they are. Eventually I get fed up and have to take the time to fix it all again.

Does this explain the reason they change?:
