Re; OpenSCAD version 2017.01.20 (git 59df0d1),

Hello All,

OpenSCAD is really kewl and it works too!! I've been using an older version
on my XP machine, and now I moved everything over to a Win7 machine (I will
never upgrade to any other Windows OS, Win7 is my last McNazi$oft OS.).

When I moved over to Win7, I updated OpenSCAD to the above cited OpenSCAD
version. I used the older version for two years designing various
mechanical assemblies, and I used it primarily for visualization. Verifying
things fit mechanically, and then I'd mill the parts. It works very well
for that. I just scale all the units as being equal to 1mm. It would be
kewl to be able to annotate the assembly models with textual nomenclature,
but I understand that my application of OpenSCAD isn't really how its to be
used. For a free tool it works really sweet!! Thanks.

Ok, however, anyone know how to move the toolbar from the bottom of the
screen up to the top? The older version the ToolBar was located across the
top, and I've become quite accustomed to using OpenSCAD that way, and alot
of my other tools work that way as well. I've poked around in the
Preferences dialogs, but I don't really see anything related. All the
Toolbars and dialogs are un-dockable, except the bottom. Is there some way
move that puppy?

Any advice is appreciated, and thanks in advance.

Best Regards - drafter

If you mean the one below, no you can't move it.

I don't recall a version with the toolbar at the top, unless you're talking
about the editor toolbar.
