Question - c-hook / "accelerator" or "hot" keys

[A3kid]

Is there a way to assign shortcut keys to the screen zoom and screen fit commands?

 

I've been running a CAD system for around 10 years, and with that system I've written a series of macros & assigned hot keys to reduce the number of mouse picks necessary to perform some very common tasks.

 

Is there a way that I can do the same thing in Mastercam, and assign my own key combinations to them?

 

For example, I'd like the screen zoom command to activate with the key combination "Alt-W", and screen fit to execute with "Alt-A".

 

Do I need to learn c-hooks to do this, or is there another way?

 

Thanks in advance,

try F1 and F2 and alt F1

Alt-f1 for screen fit command

You can use page up/page down or scroll mouse for

zoom/unzoom.

Alt-f8 will get you to Systen Configuation and in there go to toolbar/keys for various hot-keys that you can assign.

You should be able to do this in screen-configeration-toolbars/keys. Also Brian123 made a c-hook that made the wheel on your mouse zoom like in autocad, it also makes changing coulor easyer, I love that c-hook. Do a search.
