Question

Obsolete config options?

In looking through the config options today, I'm wondering about a couple of options.

Thermo_position_hint
Menu_manager_position

I used to know what these two options did in pre-Wildfire days.

The menu manager option I can understand still sticking around because it still exists here and there.

However I don't know what the thermometer position option does any more. I can't remember seeing one of those dialogs in a long time. Does it still exist in the software somewhere? And if it does, does window_overlap or no_window_overlap really make any difference?

Did you try searching older versions on Olaf's site? He's got full
explanations if you go back a few revs.



I think that has something to do with the graphical display of the
scales with analysis results, but I can't remember what. It goes back a
long ways.

I believe the option, Thermo_position_hint allow you to turn on/off and position the little pop-up text that is attached to each icon when you roll and hold your mouse cursor over an icon.

You really have to go back to at least rev20 to understand what the thermometer-type scales are. I have a vague idea what they look like, and I remember they used to pop up over stuff you needed to get to, hence the config option.

What it does in Creo or for that matter Wildfire, I don't know. Can someone point out a dialog box that has thermometer-type scales?

I wonder if this is what shows the result of a "Tools<compare part<by=" geometry&quot;=" session?<br="/>

This what I got from the PTC website,  
Enables you to position the thermometer-type scales whenever they appear so that they do not overlap the Creo windows (if space permits, for example, if windows have been scaled).
