Navigate in configuration tree with keys

Can I navigate in the config tree with the keyboard?

Like select a configuration and show it? go to the next and show that etc.

 

Not that I know of as the graphics area grabs the arrow keystrokes.
However, I wrote a macro that traverses all the configs and displays them in
a zoomed-to-fit isometric view. As long as you keep clicking Ok, it
continues to loop through them. Let me know if you would like it.

Barry,

Not without a macro. However there is one at
http://webpages.charter.net/mkikstra/SolidWorks.html that works great. It
is called "ConfigManager". I have it mapped to a macro button. Just click
it and it pops up a small window. Single click any of the listed configs
and it instantly changes to that config. From there you can use the arrow
buttons to navigate between configs.

As a bonus, you have the option of auto-zooming from config to config. It
is really a great macro that I use all of the time.

The only thing I don't like about it is that while it is open, you do not
have access to the SW program at all. It could probably be changed but I am
not one of the macro gurus like some of the other people here in this
newsgroup.

Hope this helps...
