nx keyboard shortcut keys keep reseting
nx keyboard shortcut keys keep reseting
(OP)
Hello,
I am using NX8.5 and I use a lot of keyboard shortcuts, after changing company I tried to customize my shortcut for example ctrl+shift+w to open "more" option in the window menu, but it keeps being reset.
I cant seem to understand what trigger the reset but some times i can work a whole week without the shortcut being deleted, and sometimes only a day...
The shortcuts are resetting, for example, in the default the letter a start an Arc and i change it to toggling assembly application on/off, after a reset, it returns to the Arc option.
please help me understand why.
thanks,
Mor

BTW, creating a 'Role' simply copies the current contents of the 'user.mtx' to it's own separate file that you can invoke at will, while the 'user.mtx' file is saved upon exiting NX and reread when you start a new session. When you select a 'Role', user-defined or one of the predefined ones, this will replace the contents of the 'user.mtx' with the contents of the 'Role' file and will stay that way until you either perform some sort of UI customization or you invoke a different 'Role'. And if you do perform some sort of customization and you wish to NOT lose it in the future, you really need to create/update your own 'Role' so as to capture everything so that you can go back to it at some later date if something messes up your UI changes, or you wish to throw away changes that you might have only wanted to be temporary.

I was expanding on the above comment. If the 'user.mtx' file is not updated when you exit NX, it may be because the 'save layout at exit' option is turned off. I don't know what affect this has on keyboard shortcuts (if any), but it will affect UI customizations (which toolbars are turned on and where they are located, buttons added during the session, etc).

I still don't know what was the reason, I saved the ROLE and toggled on the "save layout on exit".
Hopefully I will not need any more help on this subject...
