Help windows

So I have installed Featurecam 2018.  I think I can get used to the ribbon, and it looks like everything that I use is still there, with the exception of the "savenc" button.  I have always had to add it to my toolbox that I kept on the top, but now it is not even available to modify the ribbon, or to add to the bar.  Whenever I post a program for the lathe, I have to drag the window over to reach the button at the top of the program window.  I normally don't even post the program where I can see it, I just save it to my folder for import to the machine.  I would also love to get rid of the annoying help windows that come up when the mouse scrolls over items.  As an example, when inputting things in the milling attributes, if I don't move the mouse far enough away, the help window will appear, which then stops the keyboard from imputing the numbers that I am typing, which I don't normally notice, until I hit enter, and realize that nothing changed.  Thanks for any help

Yes, but I don't like it there. If you post a program for a lathe, it
is so far to the right, that I have to drag the window over just to
reach it. I don't normally even look at the code, I just want to save
it , but now I have to run the post processor, then save it. Just an
extra wasted step. Thanks

Mike if you grab the help icon on the upper right of your FCAM window and click on dynamic help options uncheck show dynamic help and poof one headache gone. As for the post nc I have been trying to get that as a ribbon button ever since I DOWNGRADED fcam from 2017 to 2018.

Thanks a lot, that really helps, at least getting rid of the dynamic help.  I am not a fan of the new interface, but I guess I will have to get used to it.  Thanks for the help.

Mike, above is a link to another thread on this forum that tells you how to switch back to the toolbar layout.
