Tools distribution/locations........ 3

[CAD2015]

Hi,
How could I locate the location of a tool?
In the attached picture, I want to run the pattern geometry:




Where could I find it (among the highlighted area), other than clicking on the Ctrl+1 (Customize)?..

Thank you,

Use the "command finder". It is shown in the top right corner of your screenshot (where it says "type here to search"). What happens next will depend on the version of NX you are using. Older versions will show a list of potential matches in a dropdown as you type and hovering over one will show you where to find it in the UI. Newer versions will open a results page and you will have to choose the "commands" option to get the same directions to the location in the UI.

I did use the "command finder " (along with CTRL+1, too) so far.
I got it.
I was wondering where should be placed & found (for instance) the "Pattern Geometry" tool. (I am assuming that under "Home" tab, don't you think?
Thanks a lot!

I'm using NX2206 and the default location is Home tab -> Base -> More (in the "copy" section).

The command finder should show you where to find the command if you currently have access to it. Below is an unedited screenshot from my machine; note how NX expanded the dropdown and highlighted the command for me. My mouse is currently hovering over the "pattern geometry" entry on the bottom right.

Once one learns how good the command finder is, it is exactly what i have been missing in other softwares... Do i need say MS/Word ...?
