Extremely annoying mini-toolbar

Anonymous — Wed, 18 Dec 2019 00:30:10 GMT

I haven't found a way to disable the mini-toolbar for the spline tool in sketch.

I move it out of the way to select a new point, then it comes right back over the next.

I DON'T USE IT, I DON'T NEED IT,

It's incredibly annoying, and apparently this is a 5 years old problem.

Hi! Indeed, there is room for improvement. Sometimes the mini-toolbar could block the selection. Some users certainly like it. I recalled it was requested a very enthusiastic executive no longer working with the company. Anyway, we are revamping the UI and user workflows. I think this deserves some attention.

Many thanks!

What is the solution to this if its solved?

The little tool bar is in the way exactly half the time I am trying to draw a spline. The most annoying thing about Inventor by far

Hi Darren,

I did not mark the posting as a solution. Someone else did. I guess my explanation was considered a solution.

Many thanks!

That particular one cannot be disabled..

Autodesk "half finished" functionality to disable "some" mini-toolbars by simply unchecking "mini-toolbar" from the View...User Interface flydown but it only works for some of them and not all..

Try to select "Use Classic Context Menu" option.

Cheers,

This mini-toolbar is really annoying because it follows the cursor and, unfortunately, it often happens that instead of clicking a point for the spline, you click on the cross or OK, which interrupts the spline.

There could be an option to freeze it on the screen, as with the other mini-toolbars.
