Thicken/Offset missing

How is it possible I can´t find the thicken/offset tab??? It should be in 3D Model > Surface, right? I´m using Inventor Pro 2015.

Perhaps an issue in the Help data.

Have a look  in 3D Model -> Modify

One of the first changes with 2015 for me, was moving all those nested features up to the main ribbon.

thanks so much guys. i was almost ready to do something i would regret... i just lost 15 mins of my life searching for this little */$#%^&

 

kinda wonder why they would ever put it there, since it has nothing to do with split? 

 

-"we make designing easy" they said.

-"get efficient tools to help your bottom line" they said.

-the list goes on....

 

the reality: "we move your favorite commands around every time we release a version & we have added a few more clicks for most commands that you need to use regularly".

 

- not to mention i have to switch ribbon tabs from surfacing (perhaps the most likely area for needing to thicken something) to the modify tab before even searching for the command in the first place. yeh, the ribbon is fantastic. (sarcasm intended) what are these guys smoking anyway? i am starting to think they need to evaluate their focus. ie less marketing staff and get some of the old guys back who looked after the product 10 yrs ago. 

 

& it appears that even the help is off the rails, see attached.

best regards,

Even after a year of using 2015 - I still look like a prospector digging holes to find.

 

Fortunately - they fixed this issue in 2016.
