Impact 2023 (Dynamic Constraints Edition) release is available for download, bringing with it a host of new features. Available here.

Windows

The tools within the Manufacturing Toolbox can come in two formats depending on the tool functions. These can be dialogs or toolbarsDialogs disable the control of Impact while they remain open and they must be closed before you can get control back. The other form is toolbars; these allow the continued control of Impact while open.

Dialogs

Toolbox dialogs will only allow interaction with the dialog while open. They will use the standard Windows appearance.

Toolbars

Drag handle

To reposition the dialog, click and hold the drag handle located at the far left of the dialog. When the dialog closes, the position of the dialog is saved. If the dialog is dragged off-screen or to a place that cannot be accessed easily, restart the plugin and hold down Ctrl or Shift key at the same time and it will reset the location. (You need to unlock before this becomes available. Please see Lock and Pin.)

Resize

On the far right of the dialog you can click and drag this area to extend the width of the dialog to account for very long names in the drop-down menus. (You need to unlock before this becomes available. Please see Lock and Pin.)

Lock and Pin

This is sometimes available on some plugins depending on their operation. It allows the toolbar to be always on top and locks its position to prevent accidental movement.
