- The Highlighting & Tool Selection Marker functions have now been separated, in order to allow users to enable/disable Highlighting & Tool Selection Markers as required.
- To clarify the difference between Highlighting & Tool Selection Markers, consider the first click of a Trim>Fillet operation. With both options disabled, the following would be displayed:
- With Highlighting enabled, the following would be displayed (the first entity would receive the user-defined Highlight colour):
- With the Tool Selection Markers enabled, the following would be displayed (the first entity would receive the user-defined Tool Selection Marker colour):
- Within Options>Environment>Display, you’ll now find toggles for both options:
- For users wishing to configure Impact to resemble Impact 2015 & earlier, simply disable both options.
- The functions may now be toggled via user-definable hot-keys. Follow Options>Environment>Environment>Keyboard (or Customise Mode>Keyboard) and look for the Options Tools category:
- You can configure the toggles for Highlighter and Tool Selection Markers as you would any other hot-key.
- Additionally, visual confirmation of the status of either function is provided by optional icons which may be added to a toolbar (such as the General Toolbox):
- The screen grab on the left shows Highlighting enabled and Tool Selection Markers disabled, whilst the screen grab on the right shows the inverse.
