Shortcut for ''apply'' and ''OK''
Shortcut for ''apply'' and ''OK''
(OP)
Hello
I am on NX 10.0 and I was wondering if there is a way to make a shortcut (side mouse button) for the 'OK' command and the 'apply' command. I cannot find the commands in the custumize keyboard shortuts in NX when I press ctrl 1. It would be a great time saver.
Thank you

RE: Shortcut for ''apply'' and ''OK''
However you can cheat by doing the following:
1. Verify if you have the UGII_USER_DIR environment variable set.
Inside NX, Menu -> Help -> NX Log File
then search for UGII_USER_DIR
If you find the line:
No user customizations read from UGII_USER_DIR - environment variable is not set
you will need to set that variable.
If you find something like UGII_USER_DIR c:\SPLM\CUSTOM\nx_v10\user
Take note of the folder/path it has been set to.
1.A. From above, if the variable wasn't set, you will need to create it and specify a folder to user as your user dir.
Windows Control Panel -> System -> Advanced System Settings (Upper left) -> Environment Variables
Create a new user variable
Name: UGII_USER_DIR
Value: c:\SPLM\CUSTOM\nx_v10\user
Where c:\SPLM\CUSTOM\nx_v10\user is the full path to where you want to store all your user profile files (the one listed is what I use, modify to suit what you need).
2. Whether the variable was set, or you had to set it, in that folder specified, add a NEW subfolder called 'startup', if one does not exist.
example: c:\SPLM\CUSTOM\nx_v10\user\startup
3. In the 'startup' folder, save the attached menu file.
This menu file then adds the OK, Apply & Cancel buttons to the View Popup Menu, but also sets the hotkeys, F10 to Ok, F11 to Apply and F12 for Cancel.
By editing that menu file, you can change the shortcut hey that can be used.
Then you will need to use the mouse control software to assign the specified hotkey to the button you want to use.

I've now reprogrammed the two buttons under my thumb to be Ok & Cancel.

It might be quicker to post what kind of mouse you're using rather than us guessing what you might or might not be able to do.

Typically the wheel should be mapped to "middle mouse button /wheel" and no special named function.

Yes, I agree with your reading. However, I wasn't sure of the intent. Some don't know of the middle mouse button behavior in dialogs; I was just trying to point out that perhaps the OK/apply "shortcut" was already at the user's fingertips. If the desire is to have it on a side button, perhaps the easy way would be to map that button as the middle mouse button? If that doesn't work or isn't desired, please, ignore me and carry on.

I gotcha - I thought of that at some point yesterday or the day before but just got lazy and didn't take the time to ask him...figured if he knew enough to do Anthony's suggestion he'd probably know the mouse buttons. But one can never be too sure of user's awareness these days.
OP,
Do you or do you not have additional software for that mouse you're using? If you do not, I don't believe you're going to be able to map out your mouse buttons any differently. Please let us know and thank you.
