the Confounded Ribbon UI

Hi again,



I have been patiently customizing my ribbon to minimize my mouse mileage. I
have heeded some advice I read here, thinking it to be sound advice, I
created "my" tab that has what is most common for me to use and left all of
the default tabs untouched. I have been doing this over the last couple of
days. I am becoming pleased with it and how my Creo productivity is
improving because of it. I have discovered that the tabs and the quick
access bar are specific to the "mode" that you're in. So, I have patiently
created "my" tab for the various modes - part, assy, drw. Well, I see that
editing a part in an assembly is its own mode. It requires its own "my"
tab. Really.



Is there any way to copy the contents of a tab from one to another? Or at
least get a list of what's on the other tab to reference? There are ~40
icons that I have added to me Part Mode tab and I would like that same stuff
available when I am editing a part in assy.



I am trying so hard not to bitch about this. What were they thinking?

Yep, there are a lot of modes. I found, however, I needed to only create 6-8 to be productive.

I'm not sure about copying tabs, that would be fantastic, but what I found helps is to use the Windows snipping tool to grab a screens hot of the custom toolbar as I like it one mode to help in recreating it in the new mode.
