samifox Posted October 15, 2012 Posted October 15, 2012 Hi im using the tool palette, i want to assaign a keystroke to the tools i place there. how to do it? Quote
Dadgad Posted October 15, 2012 Posted October 15, 2012 What is it that you want the keystroke to do? Meaning what is the application of this tool? Sounds like there must be a better way, but hard to know without some more information. Or perhaps you are talking about adding a keystroke to a toolbar icon macro? Quote
RobDraw Posted October 15, 2012 Posted October 15, 2012 I think the OP means something like this: For when the pallet has focus a key can be hit instead of selecting the item. Quote
Dadgad Posted October 15, 2012 Posted October 15, 2012 I think the OP means something like this: [ATTACH=CONFIG]37848[/ATTACH] For when the pallet has focus a key can be hit instead of selecting the item. That would make a little more sense then. Based on the mention of placing tools there I assumed regular Tool Palettes, not Ribbon tool panel aliases. Quote
RobDraw Posted October 15, 2012 Posted October 15, 2012 Amost there. He might be looking to apply the same principle to a tool pallet. Quote
samifox Posted October 15, 2012 Author Posted October 15, 2012 Hi sorry i didnt provide more info this is the scenario: i draw a dimension line in the dim layer. i settled its dimension style and than i drag it to the tool palette. now if i just click this new tool , it will lunch the dim tool with all my predefined properties. since i doing it a lot, i want to press the key "D" in order to invoke this exact tool. hope its make sense Shay Quote
RobDraw Posted October 15, 2012 Posted October 15, 2012 It sounds like you are applying overrides to the dimension style. Maybe a new dimstyle would be more appropriate. That way new dimensions will not need to be overridden. Quote
Dadgad Posted October 15, 2012 Posted October 15, 2012 You would almost certainly love the following lisp from LeeMac's fantastic website http://www.lee-mac.com/layerdirector.html You will never have to think about what layer your dimensions are being created on again, and if there is no DIMENSION layer, one will be created to your specification, automatically. The same goes for all sorts of other things (viewports, text, drawing sheet) too. Can't say enough great things about this lisp, and Lee. Try it you'll be glad you did. Thanks Lee. I am inclined to agree with Rob's assessment. Quote
BIGAL Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 Be careful of keys like "D" its more than likely already to be defined better is "ddd" you could have lisps that do this for you just autoload and then they are ready for every session it could have the layer to be used preset. Lots of examples about autoload here. PS check Acad.pgp for predefined key definitions. Quote
