Key to snap to standard view? (Creo 2)

Key to snap to standard view? (Creo 2)

(OP)
New user here and I'm hoping to get some help with a view orientation issue.
What is the easiest way to setup a keyboard shortcut to snap the 3D working view to the closest of the 6 principle canned views?
For those familiar with NX, I would like to recreate the default F8 key function of NX.

I know a lot is possible through mapkeys so if that is the answer please, if you could, provide some tips on how this is possible.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

RE: Key to snap to standard view? (Creo 2)

This is not possible with mapkeys. NX probably has a function that is built into it to allow this. Creo does not.

The default sketch view would be closest way but would resoftquire you to statt a sketch feature and pick a face then select default sketch orientation. Most software's normal to icon do what you're asking.

NX F8 is programmed by Siemens.

Snap to the closest would be hard for a mapkey.
You can have mapkeys that set the view to a canned view.
