Hello Gurus
wildfire 2.0
When adding dimensions we sometimes change from our normal arrow to a filled dot.
Our current procedure:
Point mouse at arrow we want to change--RMB--ARROW STYLE--FILLED DOT--DONE/RETURN.
My question: Is there a way to change the RMB selection menu so that I could put the FILLED DOT option right there.
Thanks to all
Donald

    No - PTC has no plans to allow a customizable RMB menu (at least from my
    last discussion with them).

    There actually is good reasoning behind this. Currently, the RMB menu
    will only show the selections that can be done per the function the user
    is performing. If you were performing some other function (like moving a
    view, etc.), you wouldn't want to see the "customized" change terminator
    to filled dot.

    An accidental selection of that pick could foul up your intended
    function (and probably confuse Pro/E to the point of crashing).

    Better safe than sorry!

    Let's try this again. I know how to flip the darn arrows. I still do not like the way it way changed in WF. My M160 gives me nothing but grief when trying to move the witness lines and I do not like the pull down RMB menu that is now in WF.

    I do no need help, I still just wish I had the functionality of 'flipping arrows' from before WF!!

    You still have have the flip arrow functionallity i.e. right click flip arrow :

    Select the dimension to flip arrow.
    Move it just an very tiny bit and keep it selected
    Now, while the dimension is still selected, click the right mouse button, without lifting
    your finger from the left mouse button !!
