toggle mapkeys...

[ptc-356958]

I am looking for a way to taggle on and off the display of datum curves and cosmetic sketches similar to the way that datum planes, axis, etc. work in Pro? I've seen mapkeys for turning layers on and off but it would be nice to just toggle the display similar to the way datum features are handled. Also does anyone know how a toogling mapkey graphic would be handled, in other words, so it looks on or off?

The trick to toggling mapkeys is to record two, one that turns the item
on and one that turns it off. Then, open your config file in a text
editor and compare them. There will be a single character difference,
the 'on' mapkey will have a 1 and the 'off' mapkey will have a 0.

Delete that character and it turns into a toggle. I've used that
successfully to create a bunch of mapkeys to toggle display items buried
several layers deep in menus and dialog boxes like 'display curves when
shaded' or 'display trace sketches'.
