[bokm9606]

if anyone has figured a way to relocate the dash please repost here.

How could this have been deemed acceptable at PTC prior to release????

Wilfdfire/creo/pro/e 5.0 m100, by the way

Hi Pete.
Got any banana's?

I have attached a picture showing my method of using (working around)
Creo/Elements Pro to get access to those basic references. I pick the
properties Tab to close the Placement Tab box and voilà those references are
now accessible again. I was thinking of applying for a patent.

One of the many reasons that while I like a lot of what I see for Creo 1.0
the devil is in the detail and we will wait till at least 2.0 for most of
the bugs in the interface to be worked out.

I have my model tree on the right-hand side of the screen so it doesn't get covered up...I think I'm the only one at work who does it that way...but that's how I roll.

Hi Ted,
Interested to know your config (or whatever) for this RHS tree.

I put the dashboard up top and the tree to the right back when we first
started using WF1. I hated having commands all over the screen and
bouncing my mouse and eyes all over the place. Top DB, RH tree is much
more efficient.



Moving the tree is fairly simple. RMB on a toolbar and select commands
or toolbars at the bottom. In the dialog box, select the 'Navigation
Tabs' tab and change the 'Placement' from left to right:







Make sure you select "Automatically Save to:" at the bottom and browse
to your existing config.win file or save a new one to one of the folders
that Pro/E checks for config files (loadpoint/text, user's home folder
or the startup folder).

I've always put the dashboard at the bottom. It usually doesn't overlap
the model tree much.

Sorry, I'm only on WF4. So I'm not sure how you would do it in
WF5/Creo. There WAS an button in the Options tab that did this. Either
they have moved it, or they have decided that their way is better...

This is a problem that PTC has been aware of since December 2010.

There is an SPR in place, but no solution or work-around.

A variation on Brent's workaround is to simply pick on the placement tab again to retract the flyout:


* In the placement flyout pick in the field you want to activate

* Pick the Placement tab to retract the flyout

* Pick the reference off the tree - It will put the picked reference in the active field

Pick the placement tab to fly it out again so you can verify it.
