Surface Control Window should open automatically

Surface Control Window should open automatically

An interface option that automatically opens the Surface Control windows immediately after a surface was created.
Currently I have to use Query Edit ANYTIME after creating a surface. Which is annoying since Center Selection doesn`t exist for Query Edit.

center selection?

 

you can put query edit into the marking menu, if that is what you are looking for.

 

shift-clickíng the tool brings up the option / control window of the tool.

Hi digiformer,

 

thank you very much for your reply.

I didn`t know that the control windows open with double click and with shift click, thanks for that.

 

Since I almost exclusively work with keyboard hotkeys I don`t click on icons very often.

 

I use Query Edit in my Marking Menu.

 

I try to give you a better description of the problem.

 

 

An example situation :

 

1          I press “F” for the fillet tool

2          I select two surfaces and create a fillet

3          I select “Pick Nothing”

4          I select “Query Edit”

5          I click the created fillet again

6          The Control window opens and I can make my adjustments.

 

 

What I usually do:

 

1          I press “F” for the fillet tool

2          I select two surfaces

3          I select “delete locators” on the marking menu (I suppose it is a bug - an essential one)

4          The control window opens and I can make my adjustments

 

 

What I want:

 

1          I press “F” for the fillet tool

2          I select two surfaces and create a fillet

3          The Control window opens and I can make my adjustments.

 

 

Basically I don`t want to click so many times for any single command.

 

Best regards,

silsilk

 

 

 

PS: No more problems Center selection.

Just a thought (that may not interest you!) Changing your hotkey from just F to Shift+F or Ctrl+F will change the way it works. If you do this you can Shift+F to build the fillet and immediately as it's built Shift+F again to bring up the control Dialogue box. (Don't ask me why it doesn't work this way with just F!) Means having to use two key hotkeys but might be worth it.

Thank you for your comment. I followed your suggestion and changed the hotkey, it still does not work.
