A few things that could speed up X

[RandleXX]

This first thing is the Xform command, It always seems to default to 'copy' not 'move' which I use more often. In a hurry I usually accidentally copy instead of move which requires

an 'undo' which does not always work for an Xform. So then, I must click all/Xform result/delete/ok. And do the Xform all over agian.

 

Second, the default for 'verify/initial stock size source' is always at 'stock set-up' rather than 'last size' which IS checked in my configuration. I have noticed that some settings in config. make no difference if they are checked or not in the defaults.

 

There is a few more small things, but these two alone add up to 10 times more clicks than necessary.

 

I anyone has a way to fix these please speak up!

If not I can learn to live with them just like all the bugs in 9,8,7 and before

 

ThanX

You could go in Settings-Configuration and check "Maintain" on one the pages. I don't recall which one but it's right next to the other transform settings, such as "Fit." At least then, once you select Move once, it'll stick for that session.

 

The verify settings suck too. Most of them don't stick and the defaults aren't what they should be either.

Settings-Configuration -CAD Settings

so Randalxx do you translate and not look at the screen as it give you a preview and all you do is click on Move instead?

This would keep YOU from having to go thru all the other hoops.

 

As for this I know there is talk of making move the default.

[Bill]

Right Jay, I use the preview all of the time and while you are in there you can change to move and see the results.

 

I use copy a lot so it really doesn't matter to me.

[Exodus]

Heh, I always end up using copy. I think they should have it set in the config.ini to choose which one to have it set on.

[Salt4cad]

I agree with you all, and DRAG and Rotate Suck also, in 9 when translate you could press + and - and rotate as you place a clamp, in x you press t and r and its a dyamic rotate not a 5 or 10 deg spin, this sucks why in the world it something works "WHY change it"! Pretty sone they'll will update this forun to X and really mess things up.
