macro shortcut keys inactive!!

[tmalinski]

I have noticed that every time I restart Solidworks, my custom macro shortcut keys are dead. I assigned a few macro's to F2, F3, F4, etc... I have to go to Tools / customize / Keyboard / and just hit the OK button as if I did something, then they work.
Any thoughts?

Macro keys are habitually lazy. Sometimes they just need a kick to get them going.

When you set your values, exit SolidWorks cleanly. If SolidWorks crashes after you set up these values, they will not hold. Also, you may have a corruption in your registry. Unfortunately, this may require a reinstall of SolidWorks.

Tom ... why don't you create a macro to to do that?

tmalinski,

With SW2007, I have seen that behavior on at least 6 different computers; some at work, and a couple at home (with the basic SW install and no messing with the SW settings). I'm guessing it's another SolidWorks bug that should have flushed out before rolling out the new hotkey interface.

Thanks, for your input. I guess SW needs to fix some buggy stuff
