Gurus,
Who in this group had a bunch of awesome mapkeys that worked perfect In Wildfire 4 and went to crap in CREO? I had a bunch of mapkeys that would add text to dimensions in the drawings. Things like add 2x before the dimension, add thru after the dimension, etc. Everything we need to quickly clean up dimensions in drawings. This was before the Dimension Properties dialogue box added the Prefix and Suffix. Now instead of just adding text it records the entire prefix/suffix value. So if I create a mapkey to enter 2x into the prefix of a radial dimension the mapkeys stores the value "2X R" instead of just my input of "2X". So when I go to use the mapkey on another dimension it adds the "R". Try to create a mapkey that will add 2x to any dimension. Now because of the prefix I have to have a mapkey for 2x R@D, 2x Ø@D, and 2x @D. Ridiculous!
Has anyone who creates similar mapkeys found a workaround? Perhaps there is a config option to use the Wildfire4 dialog box. Or perhaps there is a way to create the mapkey so it only records my input and does not copy the symbols from dim to dim. Or is there a way to enter text into a dimension without using the dimension properties gui...like the good old modify text line.
Sometime I really miss the good ol' days.
