Place a "Checkmark" in Dialogue check box

[mmetzinger]

Good Morning. Nice and cool here in overcast Socal. Here is my question. I use keyboard strokes alot to get to menus and to activate functions in Mastercam. I would like to know how to "check" a checkbox using keyboard strokes. The reason I want to do this is that I have a programmable keypad that work on the premise of recording keystrokes, and then plays it back. I use it to program repetative actions, and I quicken my job. So I am trying to activate a check box with a keystroke. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

mmetzinger,

 

Activate a "checkbox" by Tabbing to that option and pressing the Space bar on the keyboard. Good question. Took me a minute to try it out. HTH

Very nice. Thanks.

 

And just for anyone who wants to know (just 'cause I like to feel I'm smart), the keypad I use is an X-keys Professional. It has 48 programmable keys, up to 512 keystrokes per key, and 2 levels (shift key), allowing up to 96 programmable functions. Makes quick work of alot of stuff. One example is that I have 2 keys programmed to toggle back and forth between a .002" shading tolerance and a .00005" shading tolerance. Saves me 13 keystrokes (the way i did it before) One click, and it's set. One click and it's set back. Oh well, enough of my boasting. I will get my a** back to work now, 'cause my boss reads this page also. See y'all, and thanks.

Things are good Steve. Lots of programs to get out, and too little time to get them out. Oh well. As long as I am ahead of the machine, I guess I am doing OK. Hows where you is?

[Storkman]

Yep, the space bar should do it.
