Exit Alibre Cad

[md2756]

I am new user to Alibre Design Professional. I do not see an "Exit the Program as a Menu Option". I have been closing out the two windows using X in upper right of the window? This does not seem like a very clean way of accomplishing this task. Is it hiding somewhere or other way?

Thanks mikem

Found it! In System Options under Display there is a hide menu box that checked. Unchecking this box allowed another ribbon option to be displayed (more classic type) which has the Close Feature Under the File Menu.

This is the new menu which appeared just above the "Design Explorer". It's your classic software menu ribbon. "Close" is under File Menu Option.

Yes, I always disliked that the menu was hidden by default. It was almost a year before I realized it was even there.

And it only "Closes" one of the two menu's....mikem

You also have the Close option from the upper left icon menu in a work window and the Home window



but I just use the upper right X button.

I always use the upper right X for everything.
Is this wrong?
If it IS wrong why is it there? ? ?
Confused.

Well it seems that is how Alibre designed their software, since the other option is normally hidden......mikem

The menu 'Close' and the main window 'X' should do exactly the same thing in a Windows application! In the case of Alibre, the Home Window is a separate window to the workspace window, so closing the workspace does not close Alibre, you need to close the Home Window too.
