Autodesk Inventor 2012 – Enhanced Mini-Toolbars

The mini-toolbars are larger, easier to interpret, and feature greater functionality. Mini-toolbars are added or enhanced for the following commands:

• Extrude – 2011 on the left, 2012 on the right.

• Revolve – 2011 on the left, 2012 on the right.

• Fillet – 2011 on the left, 2012 on the right.

• Chamfer – 2011 on the left, 2012 on the right.

• Hole – 2011 didn’t have one, 2012 is below, it changes per what type of hole selected.

• Face Draft – 2011 didn’t have one, 2012 is below.

There are two new mini-toolbar options:

• Pin Mini-Toolbar Position
  Use the grip button at the upper left of the mini-toolbar to move any mini-toolbar to a different location. You can pin the mini-toolbar so that it remains stationary in the graphics window.
• Auto Fade
  When enabled, if you move the cursor away from the mini-toolbar, it displays in a minimized state. When disabled, the entire mini-toolbar displays, regardless of the cursor position.
