attribute pallet too small

[Cadplan Architecture]

Does anyone know if the attribute pallet can be customised to make it bigger? In standard form it's very fiddly particularly when selecting lines types and thicknesses, but worst is selecting the line endings, the buttons are tiny.

Common complaint yet to be acted upon.

Simple fix, buy a Windows PC.

Seriously? VW will let it be done on a PC but not on a mac?

What gives?

It's not the fault of VW, it's a mac thing where everything is how mac wants it. Mac is great but not highly customizable.

Nonsense. VW engineers can change the attributes palette any time they like.

And yes, they should.

You can make the palette SLIGHTLY bigger by clicking the maximise (green button with + sign) at the top.

My heart skipped faster when I read your post, but alas, all the little green button does is make the pallette bigger, not the items within.

I can see that the items within my pallet do get just a little bit bigger...but alas it remains woefully tiny.

Hi

Not sure how a Mac handles this, but if you Dock the pallets you will could change the size - not?

[Chris D]

That's Windows only.

[Chris D]

Hopefully Lion / Mountain Lion support will finally give us full screen mode that, fingers crossed, includes docking palettes on the Mac.

WOW!

Something that makes using a PC better than a Mac.

[Christiaan]

Yeah, we'll give you that one.

[Ozzie]

Yeah, we'll give you that one

And if you were totally honest lots of other things too

Now how about iphone versus Android and Flash etc etc

No really I do not want to go there

Except to say it is getting boring all these iphone users switching over to SG2s

:blush:

Too generous. Look how UGLY it is on Windows!

Seriously...that's not on Windows 7 is it? It looks like Windows 95!

VW still uses the old way of showing palettes on screen. In Win7, you are still able to set all of windows that way. It is ugly, but personnaly, still better than the mac look.

I can make it look pritty, but I don't use VW to win a Fashion show.

You can set it to look less like an MS-DOS version, but the shortfall of PC processing not being up to MAC capability, it is better to have the system looking stock and performing to Max, than a Barbie loooking failure.

And even with this I can encounter VW crashing several times in one day when managing small tasks.
