feature manager push pin hot key

feature manager push pin hot key

(OP)
Is there a hot key to select the push pin to keep the feature manager open or can I assign one?  When inserting the same component multiple times in an assembly it would be nice to be able to hit a key rather then clicking it with the mouse.

RE: feature manager push pin hot key

I don't understand your question. The F9 key will open/close the feature tree.

Ahhh, I see.
Yes, the push pin is worthless IMO.
Best to create your own hot key to do this.

Control drag from the assembly browser.

RE: feature manager push pin hot key

If you can't use a pattern when inserting a component multiple times, you can Ctrl-select and drag the part from within the graphics area.

Yes, I control drag a lot but it's nice to click and "drop" components in the assembly.  Control drag the mate ref. never seem to work right.

I'd like just a hot key and I know how to create one but I don't know what command the pin is under.  I scrolled the whole list and did not see it listed.  Just wondering if it is listed.
