Thanks for your prompt reply.
It works. Is it possible to avoid the automatically "Zoom Out"?
It comes right after choosing "Normal to" selection.......
I don't know what you mean when you said "avoid". Are you trying to say that you want to get rid of it? If you want to get rid of it, you can just grab it and throw it away from the tool bar.
Jassco,
Sorry for the late answer...
After I followed your directions, I got the view I needed, but it was very far from the face I selected.
The zoom-out popped out automatically...
I need to zoom in order to see clearly the view I want.....
You will need to use "Zoom to Selection" after using "Normal To" command.
You can find "Zoom to Selection" from menu "View > Modify > Zoom to Selection". You can access this command by clicking an icon that looks like a magnify glass with an equal sign inside.
You can also create your own custom command using Macros if you are familiar with VBA.
Thanks for your last message: very helpful suggestion!
I am a previous Catia user.
Able to create in Catia keyboard shortcuts without any VBA skills.
Is this skill "a must" for creating my own shortcuts in SolidWorks?.....
Alex,
Let's say I want to create a shortcut for the "Zoom to Selection"; where should I go and start creating the shortcut for it?
"Option" or "Customize"?......
Right click any tool bars;
Click "Customize..."
Click "Keyboard" tab;
Type "Zoom to Selection" into "Search for:";
Click the cell under "Shortcut(s)" for "Zoom to Selection..";
Type any letter into the cell (prefer to use unused characters);
Click "Ok" button;
You just created a shortcut.
Then select a face and press the keyboard shortcut you just created.
