How do you remove key shortcuts?
How do you remove key shortcuts?
(OP)
I assigned a key (P) to a downloaded macro a while back, and then deleted the macro (it ended up being more trouble than doing it manually). I don't know where I got the macro, and now I'm trying to reassign the key to something else, but it just gives me the error that it is already assigned.
How do I remove that association? Is there a button to revert to default bindings, or a file I can edit?
Thanks.

You need to put the macro back in the location where SolidWorks was getting it, maybe C:\Program Files\SolidWorks\Macros. Restart SolidWorks and then click Tools, Customize…, Keyboard, in Categories: click Macros at the bottom of the list. Find your macro in the Commands: column. Highlight the macro and click remove. Now you can go back and delete the macro at C:\Program Files\SolidWorks\Macros.
If you do not have the original copy of the macro you deleted, copy and rename some other macros to the original name. Then try above step.
Good luck.

Any other ideas?

With something open in SolidWorks press (P). SolidWorks will give you an error message.

I do not know, it is a mess in there. However they have one better. You can now copy all settings into a sldreg file. Keyboard shortcuts, menu customization, system options, toolbar layout, all toolbars and macro toolbar only are included. Problem is I did not get everything set before some users started customizing there options. Now they do not want to double click on my sldreg file. They will have to go in and set their own arrow sizes and etc.

Seems TOTALLY wrong....

Yes you are right and I fight wrongness every week. The drafters are responsible for the drawing and the Engineers are responsible for engineering. If anything is not right on the drawing related to drafting then the drafter has to fix it.
I always try to get the settings set before anyone can use the upgrade, but some engineers download the upgrades and start using them before I give the word. He also does not do a clean install. It is all a matter of office politics. I am sure Dilbert works here.
