model flips around when cancelling operation

[boffin5]

Often I have a complex model, and I will be zoomed up doing an operation, and then decide to cancel it. Then, Pro-E zooms the model out, and flips it to some unknown orientation. It takes time to get it back to my original orientation. Is there any way to stop the zooming out and flipping when I cancel an operation?

I don't know how to stop it from happening, but try View-->Orientation-->Previous .

Alternatively, save your view while you are working, so if Pro/E does "flip out" on you (lol) you can just jump back to that view...

And don't forget to make it a mapkey...

mapkey pv @MAPKEY_LABELPrevious View;~ `View`;\
mapkey(continued) ~ Activate `main_dlg_cur` `View.OrientationCascadeBtn`;\
mapkey(continued) ~ Activate `main_dlg_cur` `psh_view_prev`;

Thanks for the replies. I am not familiar with mapkeys. How do I create one for this situation?

 

[Guest0527211403]

You can copy and paste the above code into your config.pro, or you can go to tools-->Mapkeys, and follow the dialogs to create a new one.

Search back through this forum for some detailed discussions of mapkeys.

Best of luck

Telecomguy,

I made the mapkey per your direction, and it works! Thanks!
