Button for variable table

It would be nice to see a button for the variable table for those of us that use Vericut to develop subroutines.
I find myself going in and out of the variable table quite often when developing or troubleshooting subroutines and it has become more of a pain in version 6 as it is buried deeper in the drop down menus.

Re: Button for variable table

Totally agree.
What also would be nice is that individual buttons could be added/removed from the toolbar and the ability to show a text underneath or besides the button image.
I find it hard to locate the desired function (especially the ones not used all the time) from the toolbar because of the number of buttons. :?
I find the present way to show/hide groups of buttons rather unclear
because I use some functions from each group a lot, but not all.

Re: Button for variable table

Icon label:
If you move your cursor over the icon, a label appears. Make sure you click in the VERICUT window to have the focus on the VERICUT application. I often go back-and-forth between VERICUT and other applications, when I come back in VERICUT the labels will not display until I click back on the VERICUT window. Just a trick.

Variables:
I would also like an icon. I usually leave the variable window open during the debugging. This is not a dynamic window. It is only updated when the simulation is stopped. I use the tracking window to isolate only the variables I need. Do do so, I select the variable I want to monitor, and press the UP arrow to display it in the tracking window. This saves a lot of scrolling up-and-down.

Re: Button for variable table

The icon would be nice but without having the ability to add/remove individual buttons or create my own individual groups it would just get lost in the jumble.

I also just open my variable window (and others) on Monday and turn them off on Friday.

Reason #5 to get a 30 inch moniter:  the ability to see many windows at once

Reason #4 to get a 30 inch moniter: My friends around the corner got them

Reason #3 to get a 30 inch moniter: you can see protrait documents in one view, full page. ( right mac lovers?)

Reason #2 to get a 30 inch moniter: the black strip blind spot between 2 moniters.

Reason #1 to get a 30 inch moniter:  you dont have to disable the SLI technology, to run TWO moniter. one shares the ram of both video cards taking  you from 500 x 2, to 1 gig of video ram

Re: Button for variable table

I've asked in the past for an abilty to edit the toolbars other than just on/off. Everyone develops their own mode of interface. I'd also love to have hotkeys similar to the PGP file in AutoCAD. Seems like low fruit from a developers standpoint.
   Perhaps it's Java that doesn't co-operate but you can tell us the truth, we'll be ok with it.
