map key for Isometric view

[stevieboy]

Hi..

How do you create a map key for Isometric view.

I went through Mcam Help, but still didn't get it.

I would like to be able to push one key on my keyboard to go to Iso-view

 

tks.

Screen / Configure / Toolbar-Keys.

Screen / Configure go to Toolbar Keys Tab and Look for GView Isometric, then assign key where ever you like.

Ok.. thanks again

Here's what I did pick-on screen/confi/toolbar key, went down and hi-lit Gview-Isometric, then pick assign..Ok a box comes up..Assign Confi. file to post file..Remove Assig. from post

Post file C:mcammillpost

Config file T.cfg

What do you do after the Assign box comes up?

Tks.

[Lee.]

Stevieboy, e-mail me your config file and let me know where you want it assigned.

[Lee.]

or, you click on add or edit, depending on wether it is already assigned.

 

Then click on find key.

 

Then push the key on your key board that you want to use.

 

If it is already in use it will tell you.

 

Then click ok or change it and click ok.

 

Then it will ask you overwrite y n

 

done,

 

don't forget to save your config file again or next time you open MC it will be lost.

Thanks Lee

Thanks NuNu

I got it, it work just like you said.

But I don't understand about the config. file and assigning it.

 

tks. again

The config file is a place to store all of your personal preferences, so that when you start up the program, it will look and feel how you want it.

Right Click - Isometric.

 

OK 2 clicks, but it's right there under your right hand. You can do it without taking your eyes off of the screen.

 

or Alt 6 - I

 

Which seems like more work to me.

I didnt want to start a new topic on this and it kind of goes along with stevieboys. I noticed in the same area you assign the keys for example you can use alt-f1. Then I see there are some of them in there that are b17 etc. I understand the alt-f1 but how do you use the b17. I realize this is probably the beginner question of the year. Thanks in advance and I am almost embarrassed to ask.

Those are your icons up on top Kannon...For example as a default it starts with B01 as your Help icon, B02 is File icon, etc...

Hope that answers your question...

Brian,

 

The B numbers are the buttons (icons) at the top of the screen. B1 is the first icon to the right of the right arrow key....and so on.

 

Thad teh too slow

[Kannon]

Thanks a Ton,

I didnt even think about the icon buttons on the top of the screen. Maybe I should have opened a new topic on this so everyone can see that even beginners can ask what seems to be a embarrassing questions with out the fear of being hacked on.

 

I sure appreciate the response and the professionalizm this forum offers.
