Title: No tear-off menus in EA8. Any solution/workaround?
Post by: HansAdmiraal on January 26, 2011, 11:21:39 pm

I have just installed EA version 8.0.861 on Windows XP professional. It seams the tear-off menu feature has disappeared. In previous versions of EA, I used to tear-off the Element>Make Same menu, because I need to equalize element sizes constantly.

I tried to extend the toolbar with buttons that make elements the same size, but I couldn't; such buttons are simply not available. I also tried to create keyboard shortcuts for this, but in vain.

Any help would be appreciated.

I found the buttons and I managed to extend the toolbar with them, so my problem is solved. This is how: Tools>Customize, select 'Commands' tab, select 'Element', then scroll down to the buttons 'Width', 'Height', 'Both' and drag these buttons to a toolbar.

I liked the tear-off menu feature in EA 7 better, though.
