- [Instructor] Now, I wanna talk about your ribbon,
your toolbars, and your icons.
By default, based off of the application that you're in,
you're gonna have all sorts of tools
available to you in the ribbon.
Something that Siemens has done for us is given us
the super fluid ability to make modifications
to the ribbon, the tools that we're looking at.
So for example, we have a tool called direct sketch.
For this course, we're gonna use a tool called
sketch in task environment,
so I wanna customize this ribbon,
so the first thing I'm going to do is I'm just gonna come
out into the gray space, somewhere in the ribbon.
Right mouse click, and once I right mouse click,
you can scroll all the way to bottom
and go to what's called customize.
Now that we're in the customize menu, here,
you're able to basically completely change your interface,
what tools are on the ribbon, where the tools are at
on the ribbon, the size of the icons.
You can control your keyboard keys,
so if you have accelerator keys,
you can manipulate, change those around.
You'll notice I can create a new tab at the top.
So if I want another tab, maybe again,
it's a specific set of tools that I use
for a very specific function, I can create those.
As well as at the very end, we have our icons and tooltips.
You'll notice that currently,
my icons are set to a normal size.
If you'd like your icons to be larger,
you can go over here and manipulate the size of those icons,
so you're basically able to control everything
that you're looking at and what you're doing.
So here, I'm just gonna go back into commands,
and I'm going to pull this direct sketch gallery out.
Now, the way this works is you wanna be very, very cautious
and very specific about where you're picking.
So to pull the entire gallery out,
you have to click on the gallery
with your first mouse button, right here
where it says direct sketch, I'm gonna click,
I'm gonna hold down my mouse button,
and you'll notice the whole gallery gets highlighted,
and I'm just gonna pull this out,
and I'm still holding down mouse button one,
and I'm coming down into the gray area of my display,
and just release, and you'll see that it pulls it out.
It's no longer available there for us,
so I wanna replace that with my task environment.
So under the search, I just come in,
type in, doesn't even have to be the full command name,
just a part of the command name.
Locate the command that you want.
Again, it's the sketch in task environment.
We're gonna grab that.
Again, with mouse button one,
and drag it, and we can put this anywhere.
For this, I'm so used to it here on the far left,
I'm just gonna drop it right there on the far left.
And again, you can do this for all of these icons.
So if there's tools here that you know you're not gonna use,
you can just pull them out and customize them.
Very simple. Very easy.
Now, at this point, I'm gonna go ahead and hit close.
If I wanted to, again, use a tool
and I can't find it in that customize,
I can go back up to this find a command
and I can enter in the tool that I wanna use.
So for example, I'll just pull out a generic tool,
hit enter, and now that I have that pulled out,
you'll notice it highlights the location.
But if I come over here to the far right,
I hit this little black arrow,
you notice that I can, again, dock this wherever I want.
I can take this and put it on top on the home tab.
I can put it on assemblies tab,
any tabs that I currently have open.
If I want to, I'm just gonna say,
you know, I'm just gonna leave it
on the home and I'll just close this out.
You'll notice that icon is now located here.
If I want to change where this is located,
this is where I have to right mouse click
and come back down to customize,
and I can grab this icon and move it to where I want.
If I realize, you know what, I don't want that icon there.
Maybe I don't want to see the icon.
I'm never gonna use it again.
I can just grab it once again, drag it, and release.
Hit close, and there we have our customization.
Once I have my interface customized just the way
that I want, I wanna make sure
that I come over here in my role tab and create a role.
Now, these roles, again, are there specifically
to either save your layout or if you're working
within an organization that has a specific set of tools
that they want you to use,
they're gonna have a role set up just for you.
Now, when I come in here,
I'm just gonna simply right mouse click,
I'm gonna say new user role.
Give it a name.
If you have an icon, you want it
to look like something special, you can give it an icon.
Just browse to the bitmap. You can give it a description.
Again, if this is something
that you're gonna share, you can share.
Applications, this is just telling me
where these tools are available,
and I'm just gonna simply hit include all.
Just leave that as such.
If you have dialogue memories,
basically, if you go into one of the tools,
and you have some basic presets,
you can have those presets remembered as well.
Once I have this set up just the way I want,
I simply select okay, and now you'll notice
that I have my new role.
So I can have as many of these as I want,
and if I start toggling between these,
you'll notice that I have different roles
set up for different purposes.
If I go up into content, you'll notice
that there's several preset roles as well.
So if I go into role advanced,
this basically gives you pretty much all available tools.
If I go into roles essentials, you'll notice
that the tools, kinda streamlined a little bit.
Some of the tools are there. Some of the tools aren't there.
If I go back into role advanced,
once again, just switching, you'll see.
Let me get that. There we go.
You'll see I have additional tools.
Based off of the role that you're in,
and if I go back into user, I say,
oh, that's the tool or that's the role that I want.
Just click on my role.
So this allows you to navigate between the various roles.
If you make an additional change
to your current existing role
and you wanna save that change, when you come in,
what you're going to wanna do is right mouse click.
You're not gonna left mouse click.
You're going to right mouse click
and come down and hit save role.
If I left mouse click first thing,
it's gonna reset that role based off
of what you had saved previously.
So as a warning, you make changes,
you wanna update the role, right mouse click.
Do not left mouse click.
It'll, again, reset everything.
