Menu Consolidation

New submenus are in the File, View, and Tools menus so the menus fit more easily on a monitor display.

The following changes have been made:

  • File menu

    When you have a part, assembly, or drawing open, Open Recent is available. This submenu lists up to 16 of the most recently used documents.

    If no document is open, the list of most recently used documents continues to appear at the top level of the File menu.

  • View menu

    The Hide/Show submenu contains tools that toggle the visibility of features such as planes, axes, annotations, sketches, and sketch relations.

    The User Interface submenu contains tools that toggle the visibility of major items in the user interface, such as the FeatureManager design tree, Task Pane, toolbars (including the CommandManager), and the status bar.

  • Tools menu

    The structure of the top level Tools menu is rearranged. The selection menu items are at the top, followed by sketch-oriented menu items.

    A subset of tools is on an Evaluate submenu. The tools that are included depend on whether the active document is a part, assembly, or drawing.
