Call a macro from a 2-character hotkey?
Call a macro from a 2-character hotkey?
(OP)
Anyone know how to call macro using a combimation of 2 characters (and no I don't want to use the Shift, Ctrl, or Alt keys)? I am currently writing a macro that will prompt the user for any length combination of characters, and then I will pass to/call the respective macro from there.
I took a peek at the SolidWorks 2D Command Line Emulator, but as far as I know I cannot add/edit any commands it issues.
Thanks,
Ken

Also, we are in the process of switching the entire dept. over from AutoCad to SW and I thought this might help it be an easier transition for some of the guys.
That is pretty much what I'm doing right now with the macro I wrote.
Thanks for the input,

You probably know can also assign them to the F1-F12. I know you do not want to but I assign some of my macros to the ctrl, alt or shift keys. These are normally the ones I seldom use or do operations I do not want accidentally run. You can also can assign macros to buttons on the tool bars. I use buttons especially for those that require me to select something with the mouse. It is easlier then to just move the mouse to select the button then press a key. You can also assign macros to menu items. I have a macro that displays a form with tabs that performs different functions.
