Display/Selection

[grunt58]

Does anyone have a macro to toggle display/selections or perhaps I missed and icon? I usually want "select hidden edges" off but sometimes I need to either select a hidden line in wireframe or in shaded mode. Attached picture to better explain what I want to toggle.

Thanks

You can assign a keyboard shortcut for all the display types. Look under the Customize > Keyboard > View section.

Sorry again. I don't want to toggle the display type but the selection type. When in wireframe I want to able to toggle the ability to select hidden lines or not same when in shaded mode.

Sub ToggleSelInWireframe()

Dim swApp As SldWorks.SldWorks

Set swApp = Application.SldWorks

swApp.SetUserPreferenceToggle swEdgesHiddenEdgeSelectionInWireframe, _
    Not CBool(swApp.GetUserPreferenceToggle(swEdgesHiddenEdgeSelectionInWireframe) + 0)

End Sub


Sub ToggleSelInShaded()

Dim swApp As SldWorks.SldWorks

Set swApp = Application.SldWorks

swApp.SetUserPreferenceToggle swEdgesHiddenEdgeSelectionInHLR, _
    Not CBool(swApp.GetUserPreferenceToggle(swEdgesHiddenEdgeSelectionInHLR) + 0)

End Sub

Wow, my solution and Deepak's were posted at the exact same time (down to the resolution of the measuring device).
