Question

Activate Creo windows automatically?

I could write a SolidWorks add-in to do this in about a minute, but I don't know the Creo API yet. Does anyone know if there is an option to do this or an existing add-in? I didn't mind the Window menu from Wildfire, but the tiny icon in Creo is inconvenient.

Thanks

    When I have a window on the screen that isn't active in WF5.0 I use CTRL-A to activate the window. Does that still work in Creo?

    Yeah the shortcut is the same, but I don't expect the Creo update to add steps to my workflow. I'd like it to be automatic, or for the Window button to be bigger. I know I can put a big button on every single toolbar and tab, but I don't think that's a good solution. There's sure to be an option or an existing add-in.

    Sorry I couldn't help you out as I don't have Creo installed on my station yet, but I look forward to what everybody comes up with for a solution.

    Can you post an image of the button that is on there so that we can see what you are looking at on the ribbon?

    I would like for the window that I clck on to be the active window - like all the other programs that I use, how can I set Creo Elements / Pro (sure looks like Wildfire 5.0) up to do that?

    I keep several windows open, and often click back and forth between them, and even having to Ctrl-A is annoying when I am talking to Engineers about different parts.

    This is being implemented in Creo 3.0
