Creating and Editing Custom Toolbars

 

As an example of toolbar editing, this video shows how to create an onscreen replacement for the Numeric Keypad.

Errata: at 06:27 I say that the Perspective/Orthogonal Toggle is not normally implemented on the Numeric Keypad.

That was possibly true when I recorded the video in 2013. However, in 2024 it is certainly implemented on the "9" key of the Numeric Keypad. I recommend placing that button on the upper-right corner of the custom toolbar we are making and placing the "Increase Subdivisions" at the bottom.

I wonder if those views are stored in the Windows registry.

Perhaps not there... perhaps somewhere else where we can manipulate it.

And if so, perhaps a fun C++ project to put together.

I think the most recent zoom/position of each view is stored in the PRJ? They seem to be remembered when you load a PRJ?

It is also possible to step through previous bird's eye views with shift-Alt-Y and Shift-Alt-Z (not saved with PRJ)
