Is there a way in Creo 9.0.4.0 to turn the words back on along with the icons?

 

Is there a printout of the list of icons and what they mean?

Most buttons have tool tips if you hover over them. Are you referring to the minitool bar or the ribbon?

Hovering is great, but I didn't know if there was a help sheet or something so that I get used to looking for (or know what I am looking for) instead of the titles that my muscle memories is moving toward.

 

Retrain the brain and the mouse movement.

What toolbar icons are missing the verbiage?

When I right click on a view, my mouse is three quarters of the way down the menu to pick "properties" instead of floating up to pick the little yellow sphere with the pen/pencil/pointer. If I hover over the icon, the word "properties" shows up. But I couldn't find out how to erase a dimension until I realized that the little thing next to the "X" was an eraser. When I clicked on a dimension, I would just choose "erase".

 

It's a big jump from Creo 4 to 9.0.4.0 so I was just wondering is there was a cheat sheet that explained all the icons that replaced words. i.e. erase = (a tiny picture of an eraser), properties = (sphere with writing utensil icon)...

I'm 100% in agreement Dale.  I HATE the icons, they mean nothing to me, especially now that my eyesight is poor.  I'm stuck WASTING TIM hovering over icons that all look the same.  This is just stupid.  We need the ability to turn on words in both the hated ribbon, and the popup menus.  I get that with some languages that would be difficult if not impossible because the text strings would be too long.  Bummer for them, but I know for a FACT it could be done for English because that's the way it USED to be, so they should do it.  I'm on Creo 8, so whatever you find probably won't help me at this time, but best of luck getting it figured out!

Hmmm, I wonder if we could simply use a graphics editor to change all the stupid icons (.ico files) to be words.  That would not affect the "code" per se, so, it should work easily if someone did that.  I remember changing a .ico file before and it working to show a "4" in the Creo button so I knew what version I was on.  There may be a better editor for that as tring to do it in MS Paint was very quirky, sometimes you could save it....and have Creo not recognize it as an .ico file even though it had that extension.

 

Hmmmm....anyone any good at this and want to take it on?
