Autodesk Inventor 2021 course - Customizing Autodesk Inventor 2021 Marking Menu
- 2 years ago
Here with in my series on Autodesk Inventor tutorial FOR beginners. In this autodesk inventor training videos, I will look at customizing the Marking Menu. This is the radial menu that you see when right clicking in Inventor. The contents of the menu depend on the type of file you have open (part, assembly, drawing etc.), as well as whether or not you have a command active or anything selected.
This offers me all of the tools I might need based on the context. For this reason it is sometimes referred to as the context menu. The menu appears with the mouse pointer in the center of the radial top section, with the idea being that you can quickly select any of these tools by simply pointing the mouse at it and picking. But what if this menu doesn’t contain the tools you would like to see there? Why you simply change it, of course.
As with context menus, the marking menu contains commands specific to the current task. For example, in the sketch environment, the marking menu provides sketch commands, such as Center Point Circle, Line, Two Point Rectangle, and Finish Sketch. A shortened context menu (sometimes called an overflow menu) appears either above or below the marking menu, depending on the cursor position in the graphics window.
In the part modeling environment, the marking menu provides commands such as Hole, Extrude, Fillet, Work Plane.
In the Assembly environment (not available in Inventor LT), it provides assembly-specific functions like Constrain, Place Component, Move Component, Rotate Component. Except for Inventor add-ins, the marking menu is available in each of the Inventor work environments.
