Docking options form in an assistant

RK56

Hi,

I have a kind of weird wish. Would like to make the options form for any command to appear on assistant. The current solution in CIW->Options->User preference->Display options when command starts is bit annoying since the form appears in the screen in a obstructing way.

Background: Tried setting bindkeys for desired options instead of invoking the options form. This way the number of bindkeys are growing in number to remember. If displayed in an assistant it would be elegant.

    Hi Ramakrishnan,

    The fact that it was in the wrong forum wasn't holding it up; I looked into this but just didn't have the time to answer due to travel and customer visits. It's now in the right forum.

    The simple answer is that this is not possible currently. We looked into doing this a while back, but couldn't reach consensus on the use model and so it was never released.

    Regards,

    Andrew.

    Hi Andrew,

    Thanks for the reply. Glad that some discussion happened on this. Is there any way I can configure the RMB when it is clicked in command mode? I remember wire command has some customization. Can we extent that functionality to this?
