Hot Key shortcuts

[Farmer]

Ladies and Gentlemen,

I am doing a lot of offline programming (with cad thank goodness ;o). Im sure you'll appreciate the need for seeing the path lines and subsequent collision detection. I wanted to create a hot key for this (shift & P).
Right, I have gone into:

View
Toolbars
Customise
Keyboard
View
Path Lines

I have then entered "Shift & P" in the new shortcut field, assigned it, applied it and ok'd it.

Thi shortcut (hotkey) appears next to the Path lines function on the drop down menu but when I press shift & p. Nothing happens. What am I missing????????

Best

TIA

It seems to me that none of the factory hot keys use SHIFT+ an alphanumeric character. Try a different combo.

Try alt-p. That worked for me.

Path lines

Try alt-p. That worked for me.

I am not able to apply this. What am I missing?

Cheers fellas, I'll give it a bash.

Watch this space!


ITS WORKING!

Alt works like a dream.

Doesnt like shift for some reason - thats odd.

Any way

Thanks as always guys.

Shift probably doesn't work because how would the computer know if you wanted to type "P" or use the shortcut?

Do you mean you when you apply this it doesn't work or that the apply button is grayed out?

Correct the apply button is greyed out.

Works with 3.7MR2 but not with 4.1 that sucks

I run 4.1 and custom hotkeys work for me

Never mind it works with both???

Thanks for the help

Hmm, could that be another difference between pro, cad and cad++?

Could it be that the combination you chose is already assigned to something else?
