How do I create a single mapkey to toggle an option on and off in Creo2?

I tried to create a mapkey for hiding planes and it automatically toggles the status like you want to do. This works for point, axis and ucs too.

For other things, like layers status on/off I used another method:

1. I created two mapkeys: "On" and "Off".

2. I saved the first mapkey ("On") on the Config.pro, and this mapkey end´s loading a mapkey with the same name but doing the opposite("OFF").

Another option that works sometimes is editing the mapkey code and search for "0" and "1" status, example:

...`ModDsply_ChkB_ShadedEdges`1;\

if you delete "1" like this:

...`ModDsply_ChkB_ShadedEdges`;\

Creo will toglle the display.

You can find more info in Proesite.com.

Yeah, I do that work around by creating two keys aswell but there must be a toggle option or an easier way.

I think the example from Proesite.com is quite explanatory:

Toggling Mapkeys

You can create toggle mapkeys by letting the mapkey read in a small config.pro file in which the mapkey itself is redefined:

Suppose you want the F6 button to toggle the explode, then you only need to create the two following config.pro files:

put this in explode.pro:

mapkey $F6 ~ Activate `main_dlg_cur` `View.psh_view_explode`;\

~ Activate `main_dlg_cur` `psh_util_load_config`;\

~ Activate `file_open` `Inputname` \

`[full path]/unexplode.pro`

put this in unexplode.pro:

mapkey $F6 ~ Activate `main_dlg_cur` `View.psh_view_unexplode`;\

~ Activate `main_dlg_cur` `psh_util_load_config`;\

~ Activate `file_open` `Inputname` \

`[full path]/explode.pro`

In your startup config.pro add the first mapkey as well, assuming you want to explode your assy's the first time you run F6.

One drawback, If you manually explode or unexplode between running F6 it will not work the next time you run F6, you will have to press F6 again.

Doug has already solved your problem but I want to add one more tip:

You can join the mapkeys in only one. Since you are calling commands that don´t exist in the active context of Creo they will ignored.

So joining the three mapkeys that Doug created you will have:

mapkey nn ~ Activate `main_dlg_cur` \

`igToolbar_AncestorIGT_IGT_GRP_inh396938342.proe_win|.mcs29658718_mp|select_\

all_check`;\

~ Activate `main_dlg_cur` \

`igToolbar_AncestorIGT_IGT_GRP_inh397369119.proe_win|.mcs29658718_mp|select_\

all_check`;\

~ Activate `main_dlg_cur` \

`igToolbar_AncestorIGT_IGT_GRP_inh407984315.proe_win|.mcs29658718_mp|select_\

all_check`;

In this particular case, you have to enable the "Datum display filters" in the "fly" bar (I don´t know the name of that bar) and save the customization or the mapkey may not work.

sheesh, why does PTC make things so complicated! i know something sound easy but programatically it's not, but this seems elementary.
