Ezrider714 Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 That might be your personal opinion, but unless you are personally using my computer, I would break your fingers if you reset how I PERSONALLY want to use Acad:x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLW210 Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 That might be your personal opinion, but unless you are personally using my computer, I would break your fingers if you reset how I PERSONALLY want to use Acad:x What exactly are you referring to? I really do not see the need for threats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLW210 Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Where on the Ribbon do you access Options? I seem an Idiot. I forgot about customization. I wonder why a lot of the menubar options are not default on the ribbon. You can also use _OPTIONS on the command line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the not so subtle warning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiger Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 That might be your personal opinion, but unless you are personally using my computer, I would break your fingers if you reset how I PERSONALLY want to use Acad:x What exactly are you referring to? I really do not see the need for threats. He's probably referring to my statement that I remove MENUBAR from my co-workers computers. If my collegues knew what they where doing, I wouldn't change their setup. They don't, so I do. I am the one that has to work on their computers when it's not working - so I reserve the right to have my shortcuts on their computers. They don't notice it anyway.

Dadgad Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I like the menubar personally and would not be impressed if someone decided to mess with it or any other setup on my computer The contentiousness of a certain newbie posting in this thread brings to mind something ReMark posted recently, in a lucid moment (while the caffeine narcosis was in remission), which I am too lazy to look up, so off the top of my head, it was something like this..... Wisdom is knowing when to speak your mind, and when to mind your speech. While I too subscribe to the sanctity of one's personal preferences, and opinion, perhaps you could find a less confrontational way to express your opinion than throwing down, in a cage fight come-on, to a well liked and respected site moderator. Hey Tiger where was that great INTERNET FORUM link again? Perhaps it is time to clear the virtual-air? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 .. throwing down, in a cage fight come-on.. Cage fight? With a Tiger? Who would dare? Nah, back on topic - have we answered the question of the OP? The Menubar is back? Are the Plotstyles back? Did you find the Search Paths that ReMark told the way to?

I think several of you are over reacting to a common exaggeration that people sometimes use to get their point across. It wasn't a personal attack on anyone just a generic statement that if someone did that to them they would not like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack_O'neill Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Forum members overreacting? I find that highly unusual. Yeah, really, I do. Golly...I hadn't even noticed this thread till today. Missed out on all the excitement. Could be because I've had work to do...which is a good thing. I am all for a person working the way they want to as long as the product gets out on time. I think everyone should learn how to customize the interface, write scripts, LISP's, anything they want to know. But speaking as someone who's been a Cad Manager a couple of times, I will say this. If the company policy says to do a thing a certain way, it is expected of the employees to do it that way until the policy can be changed. If there are standards to be met, as an employee you are expected to meet them, regardless of whether you think its important or not. I always encouraged those under me to look for better, more efficient ways to do things, but if the standard said for example that text was to be on layer "T" and was to be red, then that's how I expected it done, and the individual's preference for text that was green was irrelevant. The employee could conform to the standard, or pack his belongings. That's not to say that the standard could never be changed, I was always open to making things better. But until it was, the standard was followed. If someone wanted to play around with the interface, that was fine. Create all the custom menus and commands you want, but when you screwed something up and nothing worked, I put it back to our company's "standard" menu. It was highly customized already, tailored to what we did. If someone customized it further, and it wouldn't work, I didn't have time to troubleshoot it, I put the person back to work with a menu that would get the job done. What I encouraged everyone to do was to save any successful changes so that they could step back to that on thier own without involving me. If they did that, then came to me and said "hey, I tried this and it didnt' work, can you help me?" then I'd do my best to figure out how to make it work. Most of the folks would do that but some simply would not do it. After about the third time of having to straighten out someone's mess, that person got it in writing to leave it alone and use it as is. Any changes required prior approval. If I caught them screwing around after that, it was a fast track to the front door. I only actually had to do that once, and that guy made an audible as well as email threat of physical violence. I brought the guy a cardboard box, told him to pack his belongings and the general manager and I escorted him off the property with instructions never to return.

It wasn't a personal attack on anyone just a generic statement that if someone did that to them they would not like it. I gave the opportunity to explain and there has been no response. It has nothing to do with the question by the OP. There is nothing in any of the responses to warrant such an outburst, just recommendations to use the Ribbon and the revelation of Tiger that she has removed that option from her co-workers' AutoCAD, such suggestions are justified by the thread title "converting from AutoCAD 2000 to AutoCAD 2010 !"
