dissolve shortcut

(OP)
Anybody knows how to make a keyboard shortcut for dissolve.
Dissolve only appears when I right click on subassy but I could not find it in pull down menu to create a shortcut.
Please give me a hint.

RE: dissolve shortcut

Other than recording a macro and replacing some of the VB callouts so you can use it with any file type (p, a, d) and using it as a macro in the Macro Toolbar. There is no other way because it doesn't appear in the Shortcuts pull downs.

RE: dissolve shortcut

Andrzej,

Yes, you must record a macro first. After you have successfully completed creating the macro, go to:
TOOLS->Customize->Commands. Select "macros" from the list to show the icons for the macro toolbar (make sure your macro toolbar is showing first). Drag the icon that has a person's head with a green arrow out into the macro toolbar. When you release the mouse, a dialog box will pop up where you can assign which macro to use for the new icon. You'll see a field to enter a shortcut at the bottom of that dialog box. Once you've done this and tested it out, you can then hide your macro toolbar and just rely on the shortcut (mine is "D" for dissolve sub-assembly).

Good luck!

RE: dissolve shortcut

I came across the same thing a couple of weeks ago.  By some abberation of fate, I managed to accidentally create a keyboard shortcut on one of the most commonly used keys!!! After much searching it turned out to be very simple, but I can't remember off hand the exact sequence - it is certainly not covered well in the help.  As I recall you go to the keyboard shortcut definition screen and get that shortcut in the edit mode.  You then have to dink with it to figure which box to click.  You can't just clear the key definition, but there is some sort of cancel functionality.  Once you figure it out, it makes perfect sense - I've just had too much going on to remember, sorry....  Your VAR support guys ought to be able to answer this one instantly.
