saving tool planes

[hawkeye]

I was wondering if there is a way to jump directly to the tool plane descriptor page when saving tool planes. I am using v8.1 and as it is now, you rotate, then save. Then you must go to Cplane, next menu, and save named to get to where you can describe the tool plane and set the origin etc. Seems to me, you should go directly to the descriptor page when choose the initial "save". Am I overlooking something? Is there a way to do this?

Try assigning an ALT key to the Cplane Save View function (ex.: ALT-K)

When hitting the hotkey, it will automatically take you to the function

thanks, that saves a little time and frustration. It would still be nice to jump directly to it from the first save though. Maybe in the coming releases....

I maybe misunderstanding you but do you mean

for instance you have the C Plane set up and

now for example your on a different one and

wanna jump back quickly to another?....use

ALT+N

no, what I mean is when I set a tool or construction plane for doing some toolpath, I go to "cplane", "rotate", define the rotation, then hit "save". What would be nice if upon hitting this "save", it would take you to the descriptor page where you can name the view and set the origin etc. (the page you now get by going to "cplane", "next menu", "save named")

Alt-N call the named view dialog.
