Two Minute Tip - Customize Your Interface
June 17, 2009, 09:42 AM Rob CoheeI don’t know why I can’t keep these “Two Minute Tips” inside of two minutes… Maybe I like to talk too much. No, I definitely like to talk too much. So this week’s tip is about my preferences for Inventor’s Application Options. Why I have things setup the way I do, what certain settings mean and how Inventor changes its behavior based upon your preferences.This tip above any of the others is meant to begin a conversation between all of the readers. Share your unique setting with others, and explain why. We have a comments section just for this very purpose… Heck, feel free to poke fun at my settings and explain why I should have it setup a different way – I’m game.

Rob, I'm new to Inventor, so I've got a lot to learn. I enjoyed this tip, but I'm a little confused about how you customized your color scheme. You said you took a picture and then selected that picture as your background. How did you take the picture? Did you do this in Inventor or did you use a camera? Thanks for your help. I'm looking forward to going through the archives and finding more of your tips. Georgiana

Hi Georgiana - I thought about that after I posted it, figured somebody would catch my lack of clarity :-)... What I meant was I used SnagIt to capture the image of the background. Saved the image and brought it in as a background image. Check out my YouTube channel at www.youtube.com/robcohee. I post all of my videos there - topics range from basic to advanced. And feel free to suggest topics for more videos.

A couple things I adjust is my own super personal Color Scheme using the Color Scheme Editor: http://rand.com/imaginit/1/rss/viewitem.asp?feedid=BLOGS_MFG_ALL&guid=633 and changing the Constraint Audio to another noise like a air ratchet gun: http://rand.com/imaginit/1/rss/viewitem.asp?feedid=BLOGS_MFG_ALL&guid=539

An air ratchet gun? That's awesome!
