Hello, I've been using filters for a long time but never was satisfied with cliking to select window and choosing specified one. So i desided to create mapkey for myself fo without desturbing workflow i could change filter by using mapkeys. 
Here comes the problem:

In PTC Creo PRT and ASM filters are different in this list. 
Not much of a problem if mapkey knew about choosing element in this list by it's name but look at what it does when choosing it.

in some cases there is ID in list in other name of element
I would like to syncronize mapkeys for both PRT and ASM so they are the same but feature in PRT is "1" in ASM is "6"

is there any other place where can i change this filter but not in the bottom right corner so it chooses filter by it's name not by ID in list?

You can test these mapkeys and see if they help resolve the issue of working in both part and assembly mode. They are not generated by recording the mapkey but exploit some unique numeric codes to set the selection filters. I am not able to answer any question related to how these codes are used or generated within Creo and be aware that PTC would probably consider these mapkeys as unsupported.

Hi,

if Feature filter is the only one "problem" then you can define My Filter (containing Feature option) in Assembly and Part mode.

When you select My Filter, Creo will add following line into trail file in both modes.

~ Select `main_dlg_cur` `Sst_bar.filter_list` 1 `udf_`
