A few questions (Please, of course) . . .

Hi Folks,
It's been a bit since I have been on (sorry).
I just got XDPX and have a few questions:

1) A way to make a Custom Control-Bar for the things I regularly do. I tried 'Help' for this; and, still don't get it.
I get a new, blank bar (really little), with the label; but, trying to add buttons has not proved fruitful. <sigh>
I am missing something . . .
(had a mini one in XDP9; but, did not see a way to export it to XDPX - Is there one?)

* I haven't gotten north to get the new versions disks yet - Is the manual a printed one or a '.pdf?'

Thanks, Tom aka Hwy101

Hi Tom,

You're almost there!
In the same dialog box where you created the "really little" toolbar, scroll down and check "Button Palette". It will appear, and then click on the button you want, press Alt and drag the button to your "really little" bar. Repeat as needed.

I've not found a way to export bars from 9 to 10.

Welcome back!

Thanks ~Fred, I don't know how I missed that. (in Best Homer voice: Do'oh!)

I could not find a way to get it to 'Aline' vertically?

Again, Thanks for the Help - Tom

hold down ctrl key and drag the bottom of the bar and it should reset vertically

Thanks handrawn, I will try that! Tom aka Hwy101

Did not have much luck with that - Where is this listed (and how in Help) is this listed?

[handrawn]

not sure it is in help

Thanks handrawn, I will try that! Tom aka Hwy101

Thanks again handrawn - Your illustration did the trick.



I got it down to 2 Rows and I can live with that.

yes I think that is as far as a floating bar will go
