Enhancement: Separate Mapkeys Configuration
Creo Parametric 11.0.0.0
User Interface Location: Click > > . The Mapkeys dialog box opens.
Description
In Creo 11, you can now manage your mapkeys in a separate new mapkeys.pro file. Previously, your mapkeys were stored in the config.pro file. To maintain compatibility, the new file contains all mapkey definitions with the same syntax as in the previous versions.
The enhancements to the mapkeys include:
• Two levels of mapkeys that can be saved in two locations:
◦ Admin-level mapkeys: within the installation directory structure.
◦ User-level mapkeys: in the user settings directory.
• Both the user and admin mapkeys are loaded and shown in the mapkeys dialog box, grouped by their level.
• If the mapkeys.pro file does not exist, the mapkeys are loaded from the config.pro file, and the mapkey definitions are saved in a new mapkeys.pro file.
• Save, import, and export your mapkeys using new commands in the dialog box. The mapkeys dialog now includes additional commands:
◦ Save Changed—Saves changes made in the user mapkeys.
◦ Save Selected—Saves the selected user mapkeys.
◦ Import—Imports a previously saved mapkey file.
◦ Export Selected—Exports the selected mapkeys.
◦ Export All—Exports all user mapkeys.
Benefits
• Increased flexibility for managing Creo Parametric configuration and mapkey settings.
• Avoids clutter in the highly customized config.pro files that include mapkeys.
• Separation of Creo Parametric settings and mapkey settings.
