Hi everyone,
Maybe just a small foible but I think two new buttons would be handy.
First, a decent sized save button maybe in red that you can have on or off and place anywhere on the screen.
Second. It would be great to have a 'Save As' button anywhere as I my customers always request pdf files of
my drawings. Maybe at least have it available in the toolbar selection customization area so you can add it to
any toolbar?
What do members think?
Best regards
Les
You can assign/use short cut keys to the these two functions (Tools > Customize > Keyboard tab and get/set the short cut)
OR
Create a macro for save and save as pdf and put the macro button on the macro tool (also you can set short cut keys for these)
Hi Deepak,
I understand what you say but there isn't a Save as icon in the customize command manager.
It only appears as text in the Save flyout.
I will in the meantime do as you suggest and write a macro for the save as.
Thanks
Les
Sorry never noticed that but you can always set a short cut.
Hi Les,
Please note that in SolidWorks 2011, we have now added a Save As button so you can customize it on to any toolbar you like. It is available next to the Save button in Tools, Customize, Commands, Standard.
I hope this helps,
Jim
Good one Jim. And is it available with SW2011 SP 0.
Les,
Couple of thoughts.
1.) You can put the "Save button on the "S" toolbar or create a hot key for it and that can be pretty handy to use.
Haven't seen a button that can be dragged for the "Save As".
2.) When I have to create a PDF of a drawing I use the Print Manager
I have heard of info being lost when using the save as function, but never with the print manager.
You can put the print manager button on the "S" key or hot key as well.
3.) For the save as or print manager what about creating a macro button?
I have done that for custom property edit.
Hope this helps you.
Thanks Scott,
I think the macro style will suit best so I can Save and save as pdf in one action.
Les
No problem.
Good luck with it.
