NX 4 UI - Text Below Toolbar Icons

Another default installation pet peeve of mine is the toolbar icons displaying their corresponding label underneath the buttons icon. Reducing the size of the icons via the Customize dialog does not reduce the button size when text is displayed on the icons - the icons do get smaller however.

To remove the text from the buttons select "Tools > Customize", select the Toolbars page and then select the toolbar to be modified. Uncheck the option "Text Below Icon" on the right of the page and repeat these steps for each toolbar which needs to be edited.



Note: Selecting the role "Advanced - Full Menus" will automatically remove the text from beneath the icons.

NX 4 UI - Enable Full Menus

By default, the menus in NX are not fully extended - they display a double arrow at the bottom of each menu. You have to select this arrow to show the entire menu and this "feature" extends to the cascading sub menus. This is a pet peeve of mine and one of the first options I disable.

To show full menus, select "Tools > Customize" and then select the Options tab. Check the option for "Always Show Full Menus" and close the dialog. The setting will take affect when NX is restarted.
