I´ve done a small script for that too. It´s made with Autoit and it´s for Creo 2.0:

All you have to do is execute it with Creo open or create a mapkey, something like:

mapkey drw @SYSTEMc:\\creo-macros\\new_drw.exe ;

I´ve included the source code too. Good luck.

Not with normal tools. Just with customizations. I use a little Python-Script to do that.

Hi,

try following procedure (I tested it on Windows XP 32bit with CR2 M080):

1.] download new_drw.zip into c:\creo-macros directory (or your own specific directory)

2.] unzip new_drw.zip (c:\creo-macros directory contains new_drw.exe file)

3.] add the following mapkey into your config.pro file

mapkey drw @SYSTEMstart c:\\creo-macros\\new_drw.exe;

4.] launch Creo Parametric 2.0

5.] open part

6.] type drw and you will see the effect of AutoIt script

Hi,

That is strange, I have that script working on several computers and I no problems until now.

I noticed you have a mapkey for each letter: "a" "b" "c"...

Do you have any called "d" or "dr"? If you have, that may be the problem, because when you´re trying to call mapkey "drw" you first call mapkey "d", and you will never be able to call the "drw".

I watched your animation and when you are trying to call mapkey "drw" in the status bar it only appears the letter "d". So it seems that Creo executes something else before you fully type "drw".

What Martin said is also true, you missed the semicolon at the end of the line, that´s enough for the mapkey to fail.

Another suggestion:

1 - Start Creo

2 - Open a part

3 - Launch Windows explorer and open folder C:\creo-macros

4 - Double click on new_drw.exe

Now, what has hapenned?

If nothing, then something in your computer may be blocking that script (antivirus, firewall?).

If it has worked than the problem is not on the script but in Creo.

I hope you can get it work.

Jose
