Search history tree

[CADone]

Hi,

Is there a way to search for a perticular feature in the Specification tree. Like in solidworks, we have a find option that allows us to search using a string, wild char...
Thanks

Try using the power command field. As example to search for a pad type: tad

Or easier using the search function

 

[CADone]

Can we customize or assign a key letter for a desired operation? Like p=pad, s=sketch .. etc

Use the Edit>Search command to search for particular features in the Spec. Tree. You can search for specific Features, parts in a Product, parts based on their colour, etc... Use the HELP docs for further information.

If you use the search command you can save favourites that can be reused quickly.

The fancy way would be to record macros/scripts and set them up in a toolbar with icons. Record a macro while doing the search and you will have most of the macro done.

Another option would be to
create some favorites in the edit-->search tool with the short names
change tools-->Options-->General-->Search prefix to f: that way you will not need to do the f: bit it will be assumed

CADone,

It is possible to assign keyboard shortcuts to certain function.

M1mason,
I did explore myself a bit with the help of online reference. On the customise dialog box, i am unable to assign a letter for a command.

For example, I want to assign letter F for 'zoom fit to screen'.

Can someboby please tell me how to assign this?

Thanks
