Question

Mapkeys in Creo 2.0

Does anyone have the time to either make a quick video or do a brief step by step description of how to make mapkeys on Creo 2.0?

I have been following the thread below:

http://communities.ptc.com/message/188943#188943

... but when I try to follow this in Creo. The tool bars are different.

I haven't made any(many) mapkeys, but I use them frequently, so I'll need to rebuild these before I can move over to the new version.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Dale

WF5.0/Creo

    I have found some of my mapkeys, although they don't work.

    When I tried to run the one I use the most, it looks for a table (.tbl) file: abs coords.tbl

    When I search for this in my directories (both local and on the network) I cannot file this file.

    Any thoughts?

    ... need to revisit this:

    What is the best way to replicate MapKeys created in an older version (i.e. Creo/WF5.0) and have them work in Creo 2.0?

    I am guessing that I wll have to recreate the MapKey from scratch, but since I am not the one who created the MapKey to begin with, I am not certain exactly what it is doing (other than it works).

    Is there a way to "step" through a mapkey and see each step/command?

    Thanks, Dale

    Dale,

    In the old version, run the mapkey as usual.

    Copy and rename the trail file

    Set the following option in config.pro: set_trail_single_step yes

    Play the trail file.

    The trail file will stop after each command giving you time to see what command was.

    Hope it helps,

    Gabriel
