mapkey to place in footer - inconsistent

mapkey to place in footer - inconsistent

I created a mapkey to create a mass property feature and then place it in the footer.

The issue is… The first time I run it, it will do everything except add the feature to the footer.
If I pick in the model tree and delete it, then run the mapkey again, it will move it to the footer.

I’ve tried this a couple different ways.

  1. Create the feature, pick RMB place and pick place in footer
  2. Find the feature, and RMB place in footer.

  

Any ideas?

I had another result in Creo 2.0 m090:

mapkey $F2  ~ Command `ProCmdNaModelProperties` ;\

mapkey(continued) ~ Select `nma_model_massprop` `save_state_rg` 1 `feature`;\

mapkey(continued) ~ Activate `nma_model_massprop` `ok_btn`;\

mapkey(continued) ~ Activate `main_dlg_cur` `PutToFooter`;

I just tried method #1 and it works fine every time regardless of what model I try it on.  Not exactly how you are doing the RMB, but I did it by just clicking in space after the MP feature creation (since it was already selected).  This is with Creo 3 M040.

mapkey mp @MAPKEY_LABELmp;\

mapkey(continued) ~ Command `ProCmdNaModelProperties` ;\

mapkey(continued) ~ Select `nma_model_massprop` `save_state_rg` 1 `feature`;\

mapkey(continued) ~ Activate `nma_model_massprop` `ok_btn`;\

mapkey(continued) ~ Command `ProCmdPutToFooter@PopupMenuGraphicWinStack`;

Humm, my recorded mapkey looks like this. Different than what you show Tom.9-30-2015 12-26-38 PM.jpg

I'll give your syntax a try.

This is from the trail file:

~ RButtonArm `main_dlg_cur` `proe_win` 9 717 184 0 4 1166 964 1600 1200 203638

~ Timer `UI Desktop` `UI Desktop` `popupMenuRMBTimerCB`

~ RButtonDisarm `main_dlg_cur` `proe_win` 9 717 184 0 256 1166 964 1600 1200 204121

~ Exit `main_dlg_cur` `proe_win` 9 717 184 0 4 1166 964 1600 1200 204121

~ Close `rmb_popup` `PopupMenu`

~ Activate `rmb_popup` `PutToFooter`

This is what the mapkey recorded:

~ Timer `UI Desktop` `UI Desktop` `popupMenuRMBTimerCB`;\

~ Close `rmb_popup` `PopupMenu`;~ Activate `rmb_popup` `PutToFooter`;

This syntax worked. I'm on Creo 2-m170

~ Activate `main_dlg_cur` `PutToFooter`;

In Creo Parametric when using RMB menu in a mapkey, make sure you click into graphics area with the RMB, else the mapkey might just not work correctly.
