Showing Infopanel

[Tommy]

Is it possible to craete an icon on the toolbar for showing/hiding the Info Panel.
I mean the panel that's shown/hided by pressing F12.

Thanks in advance,
Tom

Sure.

When you customize the toolbar, just type in the left search field:
info
and you see that there is a toolbar button "Show Info Panel [panelshow]"
Add it to the right side, done

[admin]

...and you see that there is a toolbar button "Show Info Panel [panelshow]"

Usually it's called "Show Info Panel". [panelshow] is only appended when called via Custom Button.

Thanks for your suggestions, however this doesn't work for me.
When I start the icon I get a scripting window with two panes. In the upper one the following is shown
File: (Internal)
Script: (Untitled)
F12;
and in the lower pane
'f12' is not a valid script command.
f12
Perhaps this has to do with my laptop (Dell): I have to activate the <F12> key by first pressing and holding down a <Fn> key on my keyboard.
Can anyone help on this?

Again thanks in advance,
Tom

What are you doing there? F12 isn't a script command.
If this should have been done by a script you'd need

Code: Select all

#665;

instead. But this isn't necessary because there is already a button for this...

Thanks Highend, your last suggestion works for me, perfect.

In my first attempt I used the button that you first suggested.

Thanks,

Simply move this button from the left to the right side and press OK. That's it. The button will toggle the Info Panel.

I created a custom button with the name Info Panel and used that one instead of the suggested one.
Now all is clear to me.
Thanks for all assistance.

That was the suggested one^^
