When working with Creo Elements/Direct 2D Access, you may carry out some operations more frequently than others. This section describes how you can customize the keyboard to reduce the time you spend on these operations.

At the top of your keyboard there are normally eight function keys labeled [f1] to [f8] that you can customize.

For example, you may set several directories as current during an Creo Elements/Direct 2D Access session. To save time, you can customize the function keys to set each directory as current. Once you have done this, you only need to press this key, then press ENTER and the named directory will be set to current.

Any command can be implemented in this way and eight examples are given in this section.

You use the DEFINE_KEY command to customize the function keys.

The syntax for this command is described below.

The key_number defines which function key you are customizing (1 to 8).

The command_name is the command name.
