Shortcuts to personalize the views in Creo Parametric

[ptc-6785907]

Hello people!

I'm a new user of Creo Parametric 2.0 and I need your help to found a way to resolve my problem.

In Solidworks, when you are working with a model (part, assembly, etc.), to use the different views (isometric, back, bottom, etc.) you can choose between 2 options, use something similar to the View Manager of Creo, or also, you can use shortcuts through a combination of CTRL + a number, for example, CTRL + 1 = FRONT VIEW, CTRL + 2 = BACK VIEW, etc.

Is there anything similar in Creo Parametric ??

I know that in Creo exists the View Manager, but it is slow and the shortcuts are faster.

I'd like to thank you in advance for your help.

Good Day!!

PTC doesn't have shortcuts because it doesn't have pre-defined views. You can create Mapkeys to select views you do define. There are numerous sets of Mapkeys to manage view orientation and definition.

Welcome to the forum, Victor.

If you start your parts with templates, the basic views are pre-defined.

As David said, you can define mapkeys to restore particular saved views as you are use to.

Mapkeys are stored in your config.pro file and can be edited in a text editor.

I do not make many mapkeys but you initiate the process by assigning a keystroke and recording screen picks.

There is a lot more to it to make useful mapkey entries, but that is the jest of it.

Example mapkey to retrieve the top view and comaptible with the mapkeys referenced in the link presented above. This example can be extended to retrieve any named view that exists.

! retrieving top view

mapkey vnt %vnn;~ Arm `visual_dlg0` `Table` 2 `top` `name_column`;\

mapkey(continued) ~ Select `visual_dlg0` `Table` 2 `top` `name_column`;\

mapkey(continued) ~ Arm `visual_dlg0` `Table` 2 `top` `name_column`;\

mapkey(continued) ~ Activate `visual_dlg0` `Table` 2 `top` `name_column`;\

mapkey(continued) ~ Activate `visual_dlg0` `CloseBtn`;

mapkey vnn ~ Activate `main_dlg_cur` `ProCmdViewNamePick.view`1;
