Question

How to add letter/mark/symbol for 2D dimension properities continuous

For example, I already set up Mapkey "AA" to add symbol " * " prefix to the dimension.

And Mapkey "AB" to add letter " CP " prefix to the dimension.

Plan to get the result " CP * Dimension " by press "AA" then "AB"

or " * CL Dimension " by press "AB" then "AA"

But it will be covered by latter one.(Only " * Dimension " or " CP Dimension ")

How could I add letter/symbol continuous both prefix and suffix?

Thanks.

I am not sure I understand exactly what you are wanting here however you can create a new mapkey that uses existing mapkeys like this:

mapkey c %AA;%AB;

mapkey d %AB;%AA;

 

Note the syntax is %<MapKey>;

Hi  Jones,

I try your approach but first one will be covered by later one.

Like photo below, photo 3 is what I want.

Every time the first one will be covered by later one.

I can't get *+CL in one mapkey (The approach you suggest) or two map key.

Do you have any other suggestion? Thanks.

 Mapkey: AAMapkey: AAMapkey: ABMapkey: AB

What I wantWhat I want

mapkey c %AA;%AB;

mapkey d %AB;%AA;

Please post the Mapkeys you have written and the version of Creo you are using.

Make a 3rd mapkey that does both prefix and suffix.
