Would anyone care if we removed this...

[jfleming]

^^Didn't even know you could do this

 

[idslk]

Ah, ok that's a bit different than selection filters, which are these:

Ok, then i prefer the same as MilesH did in #39.

 

[NateLiquidGravity]

1) Selection Filters

I find selection filters very handy to narrow down my selections. - Especially in Alibre Scripts and for Views in Drawings. - Most built in Alibre commands already filter for you.

2) Notes in 3D models
3) Redlines in 3D models

I rarely use notes or redlines in 3D. Then again I'm not working in a team environment.

I wouldn't miss them!

 

[JamesMC]

I wouldn't miss any of the buttons you've mentioned, but I would miss the ribbon, I hardly ever use the menu's!

We actually decided to remove both the ribbon and the menu. We're moving to a new voice-prompt system. You address it similarly to Alexa. For example, "Alibre, extrude sketch four two point three seven five millimeters minus D seven along the y axis in the positive direction." It should make everyone happy. Old menu commands will be accesible via the Left CTRL+Escape+F12+Right Shift + H precursor for maximum convenience.

Should have saved it for April 1. Oh well

This is a terrible idea, with my luck I would cough and Alexa would think I said delete all....

I hope this is a joke, no way am I talking to my computer. I hate any voice activation technology and I do use the split view tabs and the ribbon.

While we're at it - what about (from the ribbon):

1) Selection Filters
2) Notes in 3D models
3) Redlines in 3D models

same thing - would have in menu but not exposed in ribbon

FWIW I don't use 1 or 3 but I do use Redline Notes quite often.

 

[oldfox]

I don't use the ribbon at all and I use the menus and toolbars extensively. Love those customizable
toolbars.

You jest, but hold on to your seat.

Just to put people at ease - we are not talking about removing the ribbon or the menus...just specific buttons on the ribbon (but leaving them in the menu).

And we are dead serious about joking about voice activated Alibre Design!

Note to self: read full thread before replying to topic.
I was panicking for a moment then.

Fast forward to 1:45 thru 1:51

Who said that????

Max is NOT a slow learner.

Fast forward again to 2:45 thru 2:50

[Tortuga]

Don't use the ribbon or any of the icons shown.
I would prefer to have more customization of the "Sketching pop up menu"

1) Selection Filters

It doesn't happen often, but I do use them at times when I have problems selecting a certain "thing".
On the other hand I tried the ribbon and decided that words are easier to understand than all those little pictures of who knows what.
No more ribbon for me, thank you.

Bye Bye

 

[aptivaboy]

I still use them, actually.

 

[netcp]

As a Not Daily User I like the ribbon therefore in my opinion Every available Function should have a representation.
I dont like it to search in some „Hidden Locations“ if a usefull function is available.
if there is no other way Include something like a toggle switch „reduced / all“, please.

Thinking about some UI cleanup. Does anyone use these?

They would still be available in the menu, just not the ribbon.

I would love to keep the split window. The times I use it are usually when my brain is already focusing on some aspect of the design and want to split the view to improve the viewing -- not having to navigate the menu means less chance of losing my mental place. Move/rotate/zoom I can do with the mouse. Home, I can do via the taskbar. Arrange windows -- I never use that.
