... User error, methinks?

Yeah the ViewCube was something I loved immediately.

Here is my interface with all my Palettes turned on. Obviously this is more of a "need to" basis for the Palettes over the interface. The ones on the right usually stay on when I need them on my 2nd monitor. Large Link Here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4989089/Imag...ull_screen.png

Alex, we work alike. I use a logitech number pad (N305) for all of my commands and use my right hand for the mouse. This is indeed much faster but have to memorize a lot of numbers. Even all of my blocks are all named in numbers.

I want a clean screen so I just use the quick access toolbar instead of the ordinary toolbar and I put the combo box (layers, line weight, text style, etc.). Too bad we cant put the color property toolbar on the it. I also hide the model and layout tab sometimes via toggle (thanks to RenderMan for that neat lisp).

As for the mouse, I use a Logitech performance MX. My Ctrl+9, Ctrl+0, snaps, F2, Ortho and Esc are all mapped on the mouse

For the palettes I need / want open often, I just anchor them.

I also tend to maximize my window to encompass both monitors, unless I need a browser displayed also, etc. Although, I work in Transportation currently, so it's nice to be able to see more of the "roadway," you know? LoL

I noticed this morning that you posted a thread about the differences between Inventor Fusion and Inventor.

In the Inventor products you don't need toolbars or type commands - you can use gestures.
In the attached image you see context sensitive commands, but if I just right drag to where I know for example the Line command will be relative to my cursor - the icons don't even come up as I've already started my desired command. Over time you develop "muscle memory" similar to your typing in command aliases without even thinking about it - but with a simple mouse gesture. That along with a 3D Connexion device and it can look like the model is appearing by magic in skilled hands.

You would never actually see this or other context senstive screens once you become proficient in gesture modeling.

Interesting. Would like to know more about gesture. Isn't it available in AutoCAD?
