assigning keystroke to tool palette

[samifox]

Hi

 

im using the tool palette, i want to assaign a keystroke to the tools i place there. how to do it?

[Dadgad]

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?

I think the OP means something like this:

 

 

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.

Amost there. He might be looking to apply the same principle to a tool pallet.

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

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.

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.

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.
