ive got a problem with the syflex toolbar. Everytime i activate the syflex toolbar it just disappear down the screen and i just cant access it. I think my laptop screen is far too small 15” to reach it. I was wondering if there was a workaround to it in order to access the syflex toolbar. Tanx in advance.

Edit the Syflex toolbar file C:\Softimage\Softimage_2010_x64\Addons\Syflex30X50\Application\toolbars\Syflex.xsitb

Change the default size to something like this:

defaultsize="1,130,104,330"

You’ll need to restart Softimage for the new defaultsize setting to be applied.

Tanx. But to be honest iam quite new to softimage xsi. Could you please explain to me in details the process to edit the syflex toolbar file and change the following parameters. I would be really greatful to you if you could do that. Tanx alot in advance.

Open Notepad.

Click File > Open and locate the Syflex.xsitb file.

It is in the Addons\Syflex30X50\Application\toolbars folder of your Softimage installation.

For example, if you have the 64-bit version of 2010 SP1, then open this file:

C:\Softimage\Softimage_2010_SP1_x64\Addons\Syflex30X50\Application\toolbars\Syflex.xsitb

On line 8 of the file, find the defaultsize setting.
You need to change it as I described, and then save the file.

Thx

Just followed your precious informations. Worked like a charm. Tanx a million for your support and helping me solving my problem. Fantastic.

Tanx for great support. I have posted a question at the xsi base forum. It was regarding the facerobot toolbar and if i could use the same workaround as syflex toolbar to enlarge it. Tanx in advance.

The FaceRobot panel is more complex than a toolbar. I don’t think you can fix it the same way.
