Hi all,
I used to use a very handy mapkey in Wildfire to make all small constrains stong in one second...
It is very hard to klick on them, and ofthen you have a lot of them in you sketcher....
Here is it:
mapkey alls @MAPKEY_LABELmake all strong;\
mapkey(continued) ~ Select `main_dlg_cur` `MenuBar1`1 `View`;\
mapkey(continued) ~ Select `main_dlg_cur` `View.OrientationCascadeBtn`;\
mapkey(continued) ~ Close `main_dlg_cur` `MenuBar1`;\
mapkey(continued) ~ Close `main_dlg_cur` `View.OrientationCascadeBtn`;\
mapkey(continued) ~ Activate `main_dlg_cur` `psh_view_refit`;\
mapkey(continued) ~ Open `main_dlg_cur` `Sst_bar.filter_list`;\
mapkey(continued) ~ Close `main_dlg_cur` `Sst_bar.filter_list`;\
mapkey(continued) ~ Select `main_dlg_cur` `Sst_bar.filter_list`1 `3`;\
mapkey(continued) ~ Timer `UI Desktop` `UI Desktop` `popupMenuRMBTimerCB`;\
mapkey(continued) ~ Close `rmb_popup` `PopupMenu`;\
mapkey(continued) ~ Activate `rmb_popup` `PopupSketchWeakStrong`;\
mapkey(continued) ~ Open `main_dlg_cur` `Sst_bar.filter_list`;\
mapkey(continued) ~ Close `main_dlg_cur` `Sst_bar.filter_list`;\
mapkey(continued) ~ Select `main_dlg_cur` `Sst_bar.filter_list`1 `2`;\
mapkey(continued) ~ Timer `UI Desktop` `UI Desktop` `popupMenuRMBTimerCB`;\
mapkey(continued) ~ Close `rmb_popup` `PopupMenu`;\
mapkey(continued) ~ Activate `rmb_popup` `PopupSketchWeakStrong`;
But it is one I got send myself, it's not that you can 'record' this one....
Only, working in an other company on Creo instead of Wildfire and it is not working anymore
Who has the knowledge to update it to Creo, so I can use it again... and once I got my answer, feel free to it use too!
Solved! Go to Solution.
I'm not sure how you'd do it without recording it. The days of writing mapkeys from scratch are gone, the language is too obscure. I had two thoughts, and both failed:
The third try was the charm, but it's so simple you may not need the mapkey. Under the 'Select' tool on the sketch toolbar is a drop down that will allow you to select all. This grabs everything, geometry and dims. However, if you RMB it makes the 'strong' command available. it has no effect on geometry and makes all dims strong. I was able to record this into a mapkey:
mapkey alls @MAPKEY_LABELmake all strong;\
mapkey(continued) ~ Command `ProCmdEditAll` ;\
mapkey(continued) ~ Timer `UI Desktop` `UI Desktop` `popupMenuRMBTimerCB`;\
mapkey(continued) ~ Close `rmb_popup` `PopupMenu`;~ Command `ProCmdEditWeakStrong`;

Thank you!
The mapkey was from WF3 I think, the person responsable for Wildfire/Intralink programmed it...
Never even used the pull down select menu you mentioned...
I remembred in WF3 I was not able to record it... so I aked the Noob at work who was able to write it
I kept the mapkey, but it outdated it seems
Glad to help. I almost gave up, I didn't realize the select all would work either.
I generally assume all my mapkeys will break with each major release. Most of the time that's not true, but with a big UI change like WF5 to Creo I pretty much scrapped them and started over.
