Question

Once Creo start up, it loads tons of mapkeys that form corporate level.

Personally i have my own mapkey saved in config.pro

Very often, some shortcut will have conflict.

How to let Creo only use mapkey that defined in config.pro?

Hi,

Creo reads following configuration files during startup:

  • Creo_LOADPOINT\...\text\config.sup
  • Creo_LOADPOINT\...\text\config.pro
  • USER_HOMEDIR\config.pro
  • START_IN\config.pro (START_IN set in Creo shortcut definition)

I think if mapkeys are defined in config.sup then you cannot rewrite them in your personal config.pro.

If config.sup is not available then the last mapkey definition is valid ... this means you can rewrite corporate mapkey with your own mapkey.

 

Please explain what conflicts you met.

continuation ...

When you start Creo, you can open Mapkeys dialog box and Delete all existing mapkeys. Then you can load your config.pro to activate your personal mapkeys.

You can automate mapkey deletion using AutoHotkey script - for example you can define script which clicks left mouse button 100-times (when mouse cursor is located on Delete button).

Hi Martin,

 

Do you have more detail on this script? An example or reference webpage will be helpful.

Thanks.
