Interface changes

- [Instructor] As you get ready to begin this course, I wanted to take a moment and mention some of the changes you may see in this release. More specifically, I want to call out some changes in the UI. Because this is an essentials course, not every movie is updated with each revision. Movies are only updated if functionality has changed, the UI has changed enough to require specific attention, or a new essential feature has been added. The first item I wanted to mention is the fact that the entire UI has been updated to be more in line with Windows 10. This means that while the buttons look similar and are in the same location, things like the tabs have been squared off and flattened. The other change is related to the File menu. In previous versions of Inventor, there was a large I or logo icon here that did the exact same thing as clicking on the File menu. In this release, they've reduced the size of this by replacing it with the File menu. And finally, in this release, the Mini-Toolbar interface component has been disabled by default. Since it's used at places within this course, I wanted to show how you can enable this dialog box. This is also helpful to know in case at any point you close one of these interface components by mistake. All you have to do to re-enable them is go to the View tab on the ribbon bar and select the User Interface icon under the Windows panel. Here you can see all the interface components that can be toggled on and off. Here's the Mini-Toolbar. By checking it, we'll use it for this course. The other item that you may accidentally close is here at the bottom of the list, the Model browser. When you check and uncheck that, you can see that it just toggles that on and off in the interface. Now that we've covered some of these changes, we can continue on.
