Change position of buttons / drop down menus in ribbon panel

Niels__J — Mon, 07 Apr 2025 14:56:40 GMT

Hi,

When editing an IDW and creating a sketch in a view, I'd like to be able to select line type/color/thickness with as few clicks as possible.
I can pin the submenu open, but that looks plain stupid. Are there any other ways?
Can I expand just the Format panel, so all options are visible without expanding any submenus?

Thanks 🙂

You can right click and add these tools to the ribbon panel (without expanding).

You can also change these properties globally in S&SE.

Hi! The only option you may try is to right-click on each control -> Move to Main Panel. Or pin the section whenever you edit a sketch.

Many thanks!

Thanks for both of your suggestions!
The S&SE didn't do it for me, but the "Move to main panel" is a blessing! I've used several other places too now 😄
