Custom flyout toolbars in modeling

[MarcLeg]

Hi,

I would like to customize NX in such way that, when pressing a keybord shortcut, for example "s" key, a flyout toolbar menu would pop up just nearby the current position of mouse cursor. Such toolbar would have specific button functions. The goal is also to minimize time consumming traveling distance with the mouse.

I have heard "NX Open" or "SNAP" are available tools to customize NX.

I believe they are 3 specific things I need to get information on:

1. How to determine the mouse current position
2. How to create custom flyout toolbar
3. How to invoke this the custom toolbar with a keyboard shortcut

Any suggestion where to start..?

Thanks, Marc

u can do that with actual toolbars by pressing "ALT" in fullscreen
