switching windows with a mapkey

[ptc-4797133]

How do I create a mapkey in creo 2 to switch to window number 1 or 2 or 3 and so on... whenever I try to make one it will only work for the part or assembly windows that were open when the mapkey was made

Here is an example of what I get

mapkey w1 ~ Command `ProCmdWinRadio` `133830-220.ASM.1`;

And I have tried editing it myself several different ways, below is at least one thing that I have tried

mapkey w1 ~ Command `ProCmdWinRadio` 1;

mapkey w2 ~ Command `ProCmdWinRadio` 2;

Anyone have any thoughts if this is possible

Thanks

Adam

Here is an example that works:

mapkey w2 @MAPKEY_LABELSwitch to Window 2;\

mapkey(continued) ~ Activate `main_dlg_w2` `main_dlg_w2`;\

mapkey(continued) ~ Command `ProCmdWinActivate@context_main_dlg_w2`;\

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

Thanks,

Hello,

If you work with windows 7 you can easily switch windows by clicking on the taskbar and afterwards <ctrl>+a to make the windows actif.

Hey Guys,

There is also an option under Tools>Customize that allows you to place a list of current windows on your menu bar; see below: (List of Current Windows)

Hey,

Is this also for creo2.0, because I don't find it for the moment.

Best regards,

Hello Adam,

I found you thread and seems to do the trick for what I am trying to have: do you currently know whether it is possible to have this mapkey opening just the drop-down menu of the window icon? so that I can then type the number to select the model (this is because I usually don't know the number corrsponding to the model I want to open):

I already tried as you did to edit the mapkey leaving for example just the `ProCmdWinRadio`:

mapkey w2 ~ Command `ProCmdWinRadio` 2;

and also ti record with the mouse just the click on the icon , but with no success.

would be very comfortable...

thanks

bye
