X5 TOOL LIST

[dprovost71]

We are transitioning over to X5 within the next couple of weeks.

 

My biggest complaint is that the got rid of the "GUI" tool list. I don't know how many out there feel the same way. I will probably take one of the classes to learn how to modify the Active tool list which means time away...there is a tutorial but I don't have time for that either. I've used some of the freebies here but they still aren't quite what I want. The best I've come across is the X+ List and I export into an excel spreadsheet with modifications.

I know this is going to be the main complaint here with the other programmers here.

There are always work arounds but this is one that is totally annoying. I am all for change and improvements; X5 has plenty of improvements making it well worth the upgrade but I'm a little baffled they had to kill the "GUI" tool list. Probably something with linking it to the new tool database format but I'm hoping they can bring this old setup list format back.

Hello,

 

Would it be asking much to get a copy of your excel sheet you are using to pull the data with? I'm trying to do some tricky stuff pulling info into excel and struggling. Maybe I can get an idea or two from yours.
