Quiker Visual Style switch?

HI,

Is there a quicker way to flip between display settings then Display settings/Visual Style/the one you want?

I change Visual Style very often and find the menu frustrating and slow work flow

At this time we do not have any short cut keys for this. It is something that we have been looking into, would you like to cycle through all of the options or are there specific ones you would like to toggle?

Cheers,

Promm,

I would like to have assigned keys for I could program them into my gaming mouse. In general I would like Fusion 360 to be just like 3dsMax ability to customize the whole UI.

thanks

@mickhanks,

Thank you for the feedback. I will make sure your requests are taken into consideration as we explore what custom keyboard shortcuts would look like in Fusion 360. You mention customizing the entire UI. In fusion you can arrange the icons that are in the toolbar, locations adding and removing. Can you share more about what you are looking to customize and how it would help with your workflows?

Cheers,

Mike Prom

Thanks for asking that means a lot. Well first hire me to design it.

I have setup the menu bar by pushing the tools I like to the top. One problem is the icon (FYI NICE ICONS) are big. Some get deleted if you select to many. I have a 30" monitor and still not enough room. Again to reference 3dsMax you can select between large or small icons, theme colors, multiple monitor support, tear off panels, customize buttons, write scripts for buttons, dock buttons on top and sides, customize the right click menu.

One thing I really miss are "Spinners" (A 3dsMax thing). Up and down arrow buttons to change the value via mouse instead of keyboard. This is a hard one to explain but here goes. OK so you click on a button to increase the value. With spinners you click and drag to change the value. This is not a slider it's a field with arrow buttons. I love this most about spinners, if you right click on the arrows it rested the value to 0.0. It would be great to take that one step further. Have a reset button to the default value. I don't know how many time I with I wrote down the default values in some setting.

I could go on and on... thanks for your interest
