2008 Exit/Cancel sketch button issues

Matt McKendrick May 15, 2008 6:36 PM

Okay, another UI issue. Is there way to move the minimize/maximize/exit buttons off of the work space and onto the toolbar like they're supposed to be? The exit/cancel sketch quick buttons hover over these (see attachment) while in sketch mode and I keep minizing my #@%! model when I go to close the sketch. Yes, I know there are a dozen other ways to close the sketch, but this is the method I have burned into memory and I would like to keep it if possible.

Thanks!

Matt,

This issue was resolved for either SP2 or SP3. I can only assume that it was not fixed for you because you are running 64 bit? Either way, I think we will have to hear from Solidworks about this, as this was a bug that was fixed (at least for most of us).

  Turn your "heads Up" view toolbar back on..
  That's the one in center screen in the graphic window..
  That "Heads Up" view toolbar is the Culprit...
  At first i turned off all the view buttons there... and had same problem..
  Turned a couple buttons back on and it'll move the confirmation corner down..

    Hi Everyone,
    
    The problem with the confirmation corner overlapping the document control icons when all of the icons in the heads up view toolbar has been fixed for SolidWorks 2008 SP04. Please test it out when you upgrade to SP04 and let me know if you encounter any other issues with it.
    
    Thanks and sorry for the inconvenience,
    Jim

      Thanks for the help. Sure enough, it adjusts down if you turn the heads up back on. Not a good trade-off, but at least I know now. I'll deal with it until the next SP.
      
      Thanks
