Command manager with multiple columns?

Bruce Cox Dec 11, 2008 4:37 PM

Is there a way to make command manager use multiple columns?

When option "use large buttons with text" is checked, it displays 3 columns of smaller buttons in between the large buttons. With text off it only allows one column. (or row if docked to side).

First get into Customize mode (rmb on CM and select Customize from the bottom of the list), then rmb on individual buttons, and you can toggle the "Text Below" option to make the icons stackable.

Does that do it?

  Thanks... I don't want text on the icons. without text on they don't stack.
  
  I was going to load up CM with a bunch of tools, using it like a "pallet" however, i just found the context menu (I'm going from 07-09)... thats the ticket.

    oh, ok. no, you can't get it to stack without the text. you want to make it into a ribbon on purpose?
    
    Anyway, alternatively, you could undock toolbars and scrunch them up into rectangles and do it that way, but that's a mess.
    
    context menus, "S" toolbar? lots of people like that one. To me it just guarantees an extra click for everything.

      IF you RMB on the icon and uncheck "show text" then they will stack into colums of 3. You just hvae to do that every time you drag a command on the CM.

        Yeah, that's right, you can turn off text for individual buttons.

        OK, got it. Thanks.
        So far, I think the new UI is outstanding!
        
        Here's a pic of the results.

        I tried to post the pic, it uploads but won't attach. Same as it was a year ago.
