DMD 1.4.1 Toolbar Zoom Bug?

[Controls Guy]

Some nice goodies in 1.4.2 (and we get them EARLY!)

Thanks, Hosties!!

I just downloaded 1.4.2 at home (sooo much faster than work) and tested the zoom icon as fixed! Yea!

It took a bit to find how to turn the new drag and drop toolbar off (set to manual). It's probably nice, but...  I'll play with it later to give it a fair test. I was never wild about having to use RSLogix's instruction bar as it wastes far too much time, especially on a smaller monitor. This one looks to use a bit much screen space, especially on this 1280x1024 screen I have at home.  ( I know that's not what you like to hear, sorry. )

By default, the Instruction Toolbox shows up when you go into Edit Mode.  By right-clicking on the Instruction Toolbox window, you can configure when you want to see it to 2 other possible settings:

• Show Always
• Show Manually (i.e. don't show it until I use the Edit->Instruction Toolbox menu item or Ladder toolbar's Instruction Toolbox button)

Some other work-arounds:

• Turn OFF Instruction Descriptions and Hot Keys, and then reduce the Toolbox width.  Or just reduce the width regardless (the text for each instruction in the list will wrap).  The layout is saved with each project's workspace.
• Auto-hide (click on the push-pin).  When you need it, just float your mouse over the tab or click on the tab to reveal it when you need it.  This works for any/all dockable/floatable views.
  

Like most things in Designer, tool usage is highly configurable and optional!

Yea! Does work now.

You can undock the instruction toolbox.
