Does it still work to create a keyboard shortcut for commands in the DCADWIN.MNU file?
For example, I tried to create a CTRL+Z key for the Zoom to Last Extents menu command via Zoom to Extents|Ctrl+Z|Zoom to last known extents of drawing in DCADWIN.MNU (line 69), but after closing and reopening DataCAD, it displays in the menu but doesn't work as a shortcut.
Am I missing a step or doing it wrong? (I tried other letters in case Z was reserved with no luck. This is in DataCAD 15.)
The issue is that [Ctrl]+[z] is already assigned to "Undo." You'll need to search the file for existing shortcuts that use the letters you want to use, to make sure that they aren't already in use. If they are, you must remove any other shortcuts before assigning your custom one.
Yup, that did it. The letters I had tried were all used previously in that file. When I used Q (after having searched to make sure it wasn't used earlier, it worked just fine.)
I just wanted to make sure I could do it before I bragged on it working for Cheap Tricks this month. Mucho thanks for the quick responses.
