cberg Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 VW 2023 used to have a look at Working Plane Shortcut/Button in the top toolbar. VW put this command behind a pulldown menu (alternately in the Right Click - Document Context Menu). Is there any way to get this back into the top toolbar? There are times when you really a one-click solution.... Quote Link to comment
bcd Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 No - and that button is sorely missed - should be there. I guess we could write a script for it but .... it would be an easy reversion for the team. 2 Quote Link to comment
cberg Posted July 24 Author Share Posted July 24 Thanks @bcd I do try to search for things before posting. But I struggle with VW search function. Eventually, I did find this wish list thread... Interestingly no VW employee responded regarding why it was removed. I wonder if anybody at VW saw this. Quote Link to comment
bcd Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 In the meantime I just edited a Workspace and set a shortcut for it This will be handier even than the button 1 Quote Link to comment
zoomer Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 (edited) BTW In the past VW showed cursor coordinates twice in Status Bar. One for "World coordinates" and one for "Layer coordinates", so basically the same but Layer coordinates showed a different Z value. This was hardly legible but basically great to snap to objects vertices and get coordinate values on the fly. In VW 2024 I realized they took coordinate read out away completely. What a shame.

Pat Stanford Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 Not removed, just moved. It is now at the top of the Layers pull down menu. 🤦♂️ 1 Quote Link to comment

I totally agree with this. I think it was removed as far back as VW2021 or VW2022... ☹️ Quote Link to comment

I just re-noticed it lately again when checking Status Bar as Bricscad does also some degradations (in other ways) But currently I can't imagine any workaround about how to check Geometry accuracy by getting a Vertex Position ? I do that regularly for my drawing/modeling health. E.g. by setting 6 or 8 digits but no trailing zeros and keeping an eye on Wall's angles or Object's XY dimensions and locations in OIP - but that does not really work in 3D or for Generic Solids .... without doing math in my head ..... I also realized some VW 2024 Working Plane Icons changes but did not care much about (forgot) it as during that time I did not really had a need for custom Working Planes. Quote Link to comment
