    I am trying to assign a keyboard key to "Lock View focus" in Drawings,
    but can't find the command in the list(s). Anyone knows if it is possible ?
    Thanks.
    P.s.: I know the command is accessible "right mouse clicking" over the view,
    just trying to make it quicker!

    How about just going to TOOLS | OPTIONS | DRAWINGS and turn OFF
    Dynamic Drawing View Activation.

    I've been Teaching, Supporting and Using SolidWorks for 7 years and
    have found Dynamic View Activation to be more difficult and
    troublesome than just Double Clicking the View you want active
    (Focused).

    I hope this helps.

    Thanks Darin, why complicate things more...you are 100% correct.
    I am going to change this bad habit. I guess that's the price to pay
    for not attending a formal SWX training. On gets entrenched in performing
    tasks a certain way, oblivious to the fact that it could be done a much more
    efficient way.
    Thanks also to Scott for the suggestion.
    Cheers.
