Expandable tool pallettes

Expandable tool pallettes

On many tool pallettes the window is too small and I need to scroll sideways to read the setting description. I would like to be able to widen / stretch this window so I don't need to scroll sideways.

This needs way more votes. I'm very surprised this isn't available already. Bit of an oversight...

I don't understand why this doesn't bug more people than it does, but to be fair this section of the website does not get a lot of support. It has been put into the future consideration basket but to me it should be something that should be implemented now.

 it is an oversight howevver once you are used to the dialogues you probably don't need to read the full description?

Well the images have been changed and are more descriptive but please can we remove the sliders and make the pallette panel wide enough to read the words. I know with experience you get to know what they are without reading the full description but why is this necessary. Autodesk are trying to get new people to use this product so why make is so hard for them. It may not be a big thing but it affects so many tools and there are tools that don't even have sliders. Refer images from 2017.

The above does not even have a slider so there is a bit of guessing or trial and error for beginners.

This is the same tool and even scrolled completely right as shown above it does not show full description, so no help there.

 

Obviuosly this does not bug enough people to warrant rectifying but to me it shows a lack of attention to detail in an otherwise great program.

No more of a case of resizeable dialogs are a basic function of Windows and it's not available in this software. My preference is to be able to read everything without having to move sliders.
