I had hotkeys that were all set up in versions 15 and 16. I tried to reused them but the file appears written to be totally different. I tried coping the file over but version 17 will not use them. How do I fix the hotkeys to work the way I had them as none of the new ones are of any use to me.

The MCR file has not changed format. The file should be located in the Support Files folder. Can you post your MCR file contents and which shortcut keys are not working?

Why aren't these working or how do I apply these to version 17? I also have my cap lock on all the time when I am using DCAD.

There are several syntax typos I see. Make sure to close the string with a ^ Try making these corrections and see how things go.

//Alt+C is missing it's start point. ( ideally ; or : ) As is, you would have to make sure you are in a specific menu that would start Alt+C with ^S5^S6^

Also not having comments in the file makes it a bit hard to know what you intended goal is. You can add comment lines to the file by putting // in front of the comments.
Example:

What meaning do the numbers have when there are no key functions? There seem to be a lot of these. If this worked for version 15 and 16 how come it does not work for 17?

I don't understand the question, sorry. Can you give me an example?

I found out what the problem was. The person that loaded version17 changed my support file location to the server. I could not understand why it was not recognizing the mcr file that I put in there in then it clicked. Once I changed it back to my "C" drive it worked. Thanks for your help.
