Customize Menu

Menu Bar > Customize

The Customize menu contains commands for customizing the gmax user interface.

You can create a custom user interface layout, including custom tab panels, keyboard shortcuts, colors, menus, and quad menus. You can load or save all of these things individually in the Customize User Interface dialog, or you can load or save all of them at once, using schemes. Schemes allow you to load all customized features of the UI at one time.

You can hide, float or dock, resize, and rearrange some UI elements into your own personal design. You can lock the UI once youÆve got it set. Tools are provided in the Customize menu to load and save these custom UI files, or to revert to the startup user interface.

System preferences such as keyboard shortcuts, viewport configuration, units setup, grid and snap settings, and many important default settings, are also on the Customize menu.

Tip: You can access many of these commands with keyboard shortcuts or right-click options. For example, you can display Grid and Snap Settings by right-clicking the Snaps buttons in the status line; you can display the Viewport Configuration dialog by right-clicking the viewport label, and then choosing Configure. Right-clicking the Keyboard Shortcut Override Toggle brings up the Keyboard panel of the Preferences dialog.
