Mapkey to select fatures in model tree that are at specific position above the last feature

[RobertDominik]

Hi,

I try to build a mapkey that automatically select the CS feature above my last copygeometry feature.

To do this I have a first mapkey "--lf" that select the last feature in model tree and a second mapkey that search for parent CS of my copy geometry. but It doesn't work.

 If I replace

~ Select `selspecdlg0` `RuleTypes` 1 `ParChild`;%--lf;\

by

~ Select `main_dlg_cur` `PHTLeft.AssyTree` 1 `T3 621`;\

than it works but reapeating the mapkey later in model wont give the right CS as it will always pick `T3 621`

In the end I would use a similar mapkey to select the last 3 features in model tree and group

Cheers, Robert

Hi,

what Creo version do you use?

I am not sure if some simple solution exist.

Perhaps the following procedure would work:

• select last feature
• save feature information into text file
• extract feature number from text file
• generate mapkey using feature number - 2
• load the mapkey
• run the mapkey

Thanks for the solution proposal. I could not test it but I found another workaround:

I added the code:

mapkey(continued) ~ Command `ProCmdActivateInsertBefore@PopupMenuTree` ;\

after each UDF or Copy geometry that the mapkey imports.

The only thing is that once the mapkey is done I still need to manually drag the "insert bar" down to resume the features freshly imported.

In summary: the mapkey does:

1. creation of CS1 on a surface
2. import  and place copy geometry1 on CS1
3. ProCmdActivateInsertBefore + select last feature (CS1)
4. import  and place copy geometry2 on CS1
