Changing Your Options - Changes to "Select Other" in Inventor 2012

From the "subtle, but significant" category of Autodesk Inventor 2012, are the changes in the Select Other tool. 

The "Old School" Select Other tool consisted of two arrows and a middle button to choose your option.

It worked great.  It's been that way since I started way back when on Release 4.

The "Old School" Method Inventor 2011 and earlier
But now, Inventor 2012 has changed even that old standard.  Now instead of the "double arrows", we see "the list".

The Inventor 2012 "List" of options

I've had some time to get used to the list now, and I'm really beginning to like it.  I don't have to click on the arrows over and over again.  Now I just move my mouse over the options, until I see the one I want.

For me, it makes things a little bit quicker, and much, much smoother.

So with that, here's a video to compare the two!
