rob Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Hide Ghosted is in the Display Options. Delete Operands is in the Edit Menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melkhaldi Posted September 11, 2015 Author Share Posted September 11, 2015 Thanks Rob! Hi ZTech, Actually it does not. The hide ghosted objects is a global control for all objects, which is a useful feature. But what I am asking about is an automatic control of Operands' states. Currently, I can Keep, Ghost, or Delete operands. I think I should be also to hide them from view, at an object level just like I can do that from the objects pallet. Best, Maher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tech Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Hi Maher, Ok, that is not currently an option, but we can consider it for the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsiggia Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Z, Could we have a "Send operands to layer..." drop down item in the edit menu? Currently the only option is for the derived objects. Thanks, Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Montoya Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 I agree, I miss it being in the Tool Options palette. It's strange to have to go up to the menu to use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tech Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Hi Justin, If you select the desired command from any menu while holding down the Ctrl Alt keys (Win) or Command Option keys (Mac), a dialog will appear that will allow you to set a key shortcut for that item, so you can just hit the shortcut in the future, and not need to go to the menu -- in case that helps...

¢hris £und Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 AND/OR we could have the operandi get flagged with an operand attribute, so that they could be called up via other scripts/plugins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Montoya Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 The only way I could see a shortcut working for this is if it were the Command key, or Shift key, and that was able to be specified for the 'Derive' tools where Ghosting, or Deleting, or Keeping is necessary. Kind of like how you can toggle 'Perpendicular to Reference plane' while using the Draw or Shapes tools with the Command key. Or how you can toggle 'Copy' while using the Transform tools with the Option key. This got brought up recently in another thread, and it would be great if these sort of shortcuts could be specific to the current tool type selected.

¢hris £und Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 perfectly reasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melkhaldi Posted September 15, 2015 Author Share Posted September 15, 2015 another approach is what transformation tools currently do where you can cycle through options to make a copy, or multiple copies, etc. by the same logic, user then can cycle through: keep, ghost, hide,and delete for pretty much all operations.

GilZ Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 I would like to have the status operands setting also visible in the tool dock not just buried in the edit menu. Yes I have shortcuts for each, Yes I can delete operands I didn't mean to ghost. Yes I can backtrack out of a lengthy operations when I realized it wasn't set the way I intended, (very irritating). Just saying it would much more efficient to glance at the status of operands out in the open to know than the to confirm by a pull down menu.

AsOne Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Making Ghost,Keep,Delete status visible and selectable without having to go to the drop down menu has been a long standing request of many users. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melkhaldi Posted September 16, 2015 Author Share Posted September 16, 2015 don't forget the "hide"! It is as a valid a state as the "keep, ghost, and delete" ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsOne Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 would be nice to have all of these on the palette... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsiggia Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 If you could send operands to a specified layer, that layer can be hidden or ghosted. Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsOne Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 I love the idea of sending operands to a specified layer. +1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Montoya Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 +2 Sending operands to a specified layer could eliminate the need for having the separate operands control all together! At least for me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GilZ Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 I'm suggesting augmenting the pull down menu with a visual cue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
