Question

Ctrl-G

Looking to solve a mystery.....

 

In the last day or two, using Ctrl-G while in a part no longer regenerates the part model, the icon has to be clicked.

While in an assembly, using Ctrl-G still works.

 

Did something get accidentally changed to remove this from the part parameters ?

 

Thanks, Dale

The "Keyboard Shortcuts" have been checked:

'Morning Dale!

 

I am so used to using mapkeys and HATE the ones in MS Anything (fumblefingers me keeps accidently hitting bad combinations always at the wrong time) so I never noticed the keyboard shortcuts, might have to look into those, thanks!  On the regeneration issue, as I mentioned in another post, Creo 3 seems to have SERIOUS issues with regenerating things.  I regen, and it tells me I need to regen again.  Then I do, AGAIN, try to save, and it tells me I need to regen the model before saving.  I give it the middle finger and save anyway.  So, lately, I'm never sure at what actually got saved but I'm not going to sit there endlessly regenerating things and have it still tell me it needs a regen.  WTH???  PTC needs to fix whatever is happening here.

Frank,

Currently it is mostly out of habit (and muscle memory) that I hit "Ctrl-G" before hitting "Ctrl-S" or before going into a family table to verify instances. But now I have to "click" with the mouse instead.

@Dale_Rosema 

 

Try starting Creo without config pro/ui to check if that is due to some changes in these files.

 

In assembly try CTRl+G and check if there is message about regeneration in message area..

Hi,

1.] set config.pro option enable_auto_regen  no

2.] modify part dimension

3.] press CTRL+G ... Creo 4.0 M060 regenerates model

Hey Martin

That setting doesn't seem to be helpful from the description:

"Features | enable_auto_regen | Enable Auto Regeneration for Unified Edit Mode. | yes, no yes

 

I did find this and set it to yes, and we'll see how that works out:

regen_solid_before_save yes

"Without category | regen_solid_before_save |
Controls whether to regenerate top model, or prompt
user before regeneration if it is required | yes, no, prompt, force | prompt
