Hi,
how can I create a toolbar as the image attached ?

Thank you...

Using NX 8 and TC8.3

Only when a toolbar is floating on the screen (not docked) can it be sized so as to show multiple rows of icons.

John,
OK, but how can I create this toolbar.
This toolbar or command I didn't find.

Thank you...

If you right click your toolbars and go to customize, you can make your own (including custom buttons, etc).

For that one specifically, make your own, then place the button "orient view drop down" (from the commands tab in customize menu) and put it on your toolbar. While customize is still active, click on the drop down and drag each view out until you have the desired toolbar.

That's what you've requested, right?

There are two methods that comes to my mind,
1) the older method: Look into the NX install directory, under \ugii\menus, copy the "ug_sketch_task.tbr" ( or any of the smaller .tbr's) Open the copy with notepad. The syntax is really simple.
( also note the pulldown option-icon in the sketch toolbar.)
When you need the name for a command to add into the toolbar, click that command in the NX session, then open Help - Nx logfile , the last command should be noted in CAPS_LETTERS in the bottom.

You can then load the new .tbr thru Tools- Customize - Toolbars-tab - Load... But one has to load this toolbar each session unless you place the .tbr file in some directory that NX reads on startup.
This can be done in a number of different fashions.
I set as personal environment variable in the windows control panel the variable * "UGII_USER_DIR = H:\tomas" then create a folder "H:\startup" and place the .tbr in there. *Note: the UGII_USER_DIR is not set by the company install here.

2, the newer method Tools - customize - toolbars-tab, - New...
name the toolbar, drag drop buttons onto it. Done.
This toolbar will start automaticly in your next session on THIS computer but not ( default) be available on any other computer or for any other user. I dont know where this toolbar is stored.

You can also create custom bitmaps for your custom toolbars. You will need to define the UGII_BITMAP_DIRECTORY variable and then place your bitmaps in that location. If you're not sure how to do that or not able to do it, you can map out the full path in the .tbr file.

In addition to the info Toost provided above regarding the "old" way of making a .tbr file, you can open the menu files (.men) with Notepad/Wordpad and get some of the syntax you'd need for a custom .tbr file for items that are only shown on the pulldown menu.

Refer to the Documentation under NX Essentials -> Customizing NX for further help - it's very well written for the most part.
