Free Style Application/Quick Compass Orientation

[Jashe]

I'm using R19 and the Freestyle application and I'm looking for the Quick Compass Orientation toolbar. I've searched online and everybody is saying to hit F5 but when I do it doesn't do anything. I'm I missing something? Is there another way to get to this toolbar?

Hi Jashe. I am also using R19 and the tool you are searching for is in the toolbar called "Generic Tools". View --> Toolbars. Also F5 works in my system too. If it is not there you can probably go to Tools --> Customize --> Toolbars search for the "Generic Tools" and restore its position or contents. Hope these will help.

I am not seeing a "Generic Tools" option. Is it a licensing thing maybe?

Try -- Tools - Customize - Commands - All Commands.

F5 may be somebody's custom settings, Dassault hard codes the accelerator keys.

I don't think there is a license issue. I agree with DBezaire. You can also try this. If you cannot find it in there also I am not sure if it has to do with the workbenches you have or you don't have.

Ok, so what I've found (at least on the 2 different computers I've been working with) is that the "Quick Compass Orientation" tool is basically the "Current Plane Orientation" tool. Something is different from the tutorial my instructor has given me and the actual software (even though he has snapshots of the toolbar saying "Quick Compass Orientation" on it. I've actually attached that part of the tutorial for anybody who wants to see it.
