Annoying DATUM DISPLAY FILTERS Dropdown

[Yogesh.T]

🙂 PTC should have a bug fix on this. Not a bug I guess, but would be so enjoyable to navigate flawlessly. 

OK! to the point: Once the drop down - select option (Check box) - I have to click out side for it to go. - I would recommend PTC to do the same with scroll function. Scroll does not work when the window dropdown is showing. It is a small thing but annoys me 50 times minimum in a day. This a great example about how a smallest thing can ruin for overall passion and productivity. 

WHAT CAN BE DONE? 

Thank for taking your time to read and pl let me know your thoughts. 

GO CREO!

I added datum planes and axis to my quick tool bar so I don't have to go to that drop down

Holly Cow.... Why didn't I think about that simple trick. ? Thanks. 

Focusing on complex keeps your mind off simplest things. Knew...but Never thought of to do. First thing!!!

I rarely turn the filters off.  Everything is on ruled layers and if I need to see something I either unhide the layer or unhide the specific datum in the tree.

As for the scroll function, I wouldn't consider it a bug.  When a dropdown is open, the program is focused on the dropdown.  If there is a scroll on the dropdown, I would expect scroll to move the dropdown scroll.

I am sure I could list many things for every program I use that are a bit annoying.  But I prefer to use learn how the program works and use it as designed.  I will make an improvement suggestion if something is annoying enough and be very happy if it gets implemented.  For Creo, the place for suggestions is: Creo Parametric Ideas - PTC Community  I have offered several suggestions with a couple implemented.

We have so much legacy data, layers just don't work right for us. Anything created for the last several years have mostly followed good layer practices but I use stuff created 25+ years ago that hasn't been updated in a good while and when updated, there is no guarantee layers are updated, it's not required, only recommended. I gave up years ago. I just use the master display toggle.

Many years ago, I was big on pushing for drawings to open correctly displayed no matter what "settings" any given user had in their config.
