Is it possible to define a coordinate/position, so that this point is automatically selected within a sketch using mapkey?

My objective is to update a curve (which already works with mapkey) and that curve is used in a sketch to extrude a part. When updating the curve you have to select the new one to replace the reference:

To prevent the user from selecting something that should not be selected, I'd like to use the mapkey to select the right curve in the sketch.

I'm using Creo 7

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

I guess requested action cannot be executed via mapkey. Please upload test model (packed in zip file) and record video showing your "action" ... maybe it helps other users to understand your "situation" and provide some advice.

A mapkey can record a mouse selection in the graphics window. I do not see this a viable solution for your scenario.

Have you considered using feature names or other selection filter with the find tool to implement the selection criteria? This can work and should be robust.
