Autodesk Inventor Customization

[#1]

Now, i don't know if this has been brought up before but it starts to annyon the *** out of me so here goes.

Whenever i want to edit a part, extrude, chamfer, fillet  dialouge box pops up as usual with dimension info etc. But an additional "box" also shows up on the part or arrow. See the link for a visual explanation.

Example: http://img189.imageshack.us/i/newfh.png/

Is there any way to remove this?

Hi, that is not a problem but a great feature and this is what Autodesk means by Direct Manipulation....try to use it and you will love.

but if you need something more....please se another topic about this.

Hi Manuela,

I think it's annoying too and if you can't turn it off other than using the classic interface then it's very annoying, not an enhancement.

It's a solution but i still want the new interface. This "function" doesn't really make inventor easier to use. So if you guys have any other options then please let us!

Hello All,

Yes i understand you...maybe Autodesk could add some options to turn ON and OFF the canvas tools. I think there is no way to change unless the change the interface to Classic.

Its better start using it because there are news in 2012 about this:  http://wikihelp.autodesk.com/Inventor/enu/2012/Videos/direct_manipulation_2012

(may come with the option to turn off)

I can't find a way to turn that part off in 2012 but you can pin it to a set location. That's a plus. I hated how in 2011 it always seemed to be over what I needed to click on.
