About Dialog Boxes
Most dialog boxes support a set of related functions. For example, the view reorientation, zooming, panning, spinning, and spin-center functions are all available in the
Orientation dialog box (
View >
Named Views >
Reorient).
Many dialog boxes are also dynamic, and options change as you make selections. For example, the Orientation dialog box changes depending on the selection under Type.
As a rule, a function in the dialog box is available if:
• The function is appropriate for the state of the window or object or for the product type (Part, Assembly, Sketcher, Layout, and so on).
• The software required for using the function is installed. For example, if Pro/INTRALINK is installed, certain buttons on the File Open dialog box are available.
Performing Default Actions
Most dialog boxes in Creo Parametric have a default button, denoted by a black border. You can perform the default action quickly in three different ways:
• Click the button.
• Middle-click within the Creo Parametric window.
• Press ENTER.
