Something new in Inventor?

I was working on a pdf file which required the use of the alt key, but when I flipped back to Inventor I discovered this (see attached picture).

 

How long has this been in Inventor?

 

Have you fellas been holding out on me or something .... lol 😛

Hi trumpy81,

This originates from the Ribbon interface ( Inventor 2010).

 

So it's actually a MS thing:

It can get in the way of the ALT + Drag workflow as described here:

I hope this helps.
Best of luck to you in all of your Inventor pursuits,
Curtis

Thanks Ampster and Curtis.

 

I figured that it was a ribbon thing, but in all the years that I've been using programs with the ribbon interface I have never seen it.

 

I guess it's not too hard to figure out that I rarely use keyboard shortcuts, except in Photoshop .... Smiley Very Happy

 

Anyhow, I thought it was a cool feature and one that I will have to remember in future, as I seem to be learning new keyboard shortcuts all the time.
