Question

Entering text in a note on a drawing.

I am in the process of testing a Stream Deck XL for improvements in office automation. A large ECO needs a note added. I put the text in Stream Deck so that when I open the text dialogue box it would enter the text.

 

Here is the text:

Here is what I end up with in Creo.

Is this a font issue or something else?

If I copy and paste it from another drawing, or even from the text in the stream deck it works.

Thanks,

Could be a formatting issue with embedded characters in the Stream Deck file. I know Word files do not always cut and paste directly as they contain embedded control characters in their formatting.

    Martin,

    Yes, that the devise. I use it for live streaming at my church and can call camera presets, scenes, publish them to the stream.

    I was thinking that it might be useful at work and wanted to try it out on a couple of things: Creo, MasterCAM, Excel, ....

     

    That was my first attempt with Creo. It seemed like a relatively simple task.

     

    Thanks,

    Dale

        I recommend putting the text into a mapkey and having the stream deck trigger the mapkey. Or you can run the mapkey from your keyboard.... Or a full secondary keyboard. I made some setup files to do it buts it's much more to learn and more software. Hidmacros and autohotkey. Shame I can't install on my Work computer or I'd develop script for it more.

         

        You can also append/add text from from a file. Which again can be setup to trigger from a mapkey.

          Elgato asked to check it out in other software.

          Word works

          Excel works

          Office works

          Draftsight works

          ProCam works.

           

          But not Creo. Neither in a text box or at the command prompt.

            I have a SD XL, and it works fine for map keys.
            I'm using this.
            It paste all my boring map keys...
            Even with "Enter Key" so several Map keys...
