Multikey Macros

Is it possible to have multikey macros in solidworks? if so, how??

ie I want to type "me" to bring up the measure box, and type "mv" to
begin a move component action.

(coming from the pro/e side, this was indispensible to do fast work)
Thanks in advance for any insight!

 

I don't know of any way to do that, but I have lots of single-key hotkeys
defined, such as m-mate, d-determine a distance (m was already used for
mate...), b-back to the previous view, n-note, etc. Depending on what
version you are using, you can import all of mine to see if you like them.
I maintain a list of all the hotkeys that are "standard" in SW, and then all
that we have added as our "standards".

There is also a set of macros that tie to the numpad keys that change to all
the different views. Quite indispensable once you get used to them being
there.

Let me know if you would like to try any of this.

The only thing I know of is using Shif or control or alt with a key or a
combo of them.

 

Thanks for the insights. I'm going to post another topic
related...using Quickeys with SWX...

 

Wayne--I'd love to get a copy of your macros as a starting point. let
me know what I have to do. Thanks! -Art
