I noticed that when you go to place a hole it is not possible to switch from one dimension to another with the TAB key or even to enter the dimensions manually. (now it's a bit uncomfortable  to place a hole just by moving the mouse)

It would be nice to have as an additional option the possibility of positioning a hole like when I go to position a geometry (circle) in 2D.  (In previous versions it worked with the Tab)

I am attaching a sample video, thanks.

Hello Roberto

You may want to go to SpaceClaim Options> Popular> Control options and toggle ' Tool Guide Position' to 'Not Shown'. 

Using 'Tab' key when the Tool Guide is shown, allows you to switch between the different options in the tool whereas when the Tool Guide is turned off 'Tab' key allows you to switch between the dimensions.

Please refer attached video.

Hi thank you now I understand.
It doesn't seem very comfortable to me that to be able to position the holes in this way I have to hide the controls every time.
Once there was the possibility to keep the controls active on the left and to position the hole in the second way that you showed me in the video.

Hello Roberto

This change was introduced in the 2019 R1 version.

We will put forth this idea to our product development team.

Our developers will consider the change based on the demand for it.

Subashni Hi 

I thank you, I had already written it in the ideas section.
I hope you come back as before because it doesn't make much sense to have it removed, trying to understand that for those who have to place holes, it could be very uncomfortable.
Anyway, thank you very much, have a nice day

 

Regards
