Renaming a button from 'user command'

[nmfoulkes]

Hi there; hopefully someone here can help.

I have recently set up a macro button in NX 7.5 to allow me to add breaklines quicker in drafting mode.

Despite setting the button message text to be 'breakline' it still shows 'user command'in my toolbar. Only if you hover over the button can you then see 'breakline' in italics.

How can i get the button to show as 'breakline' rather than 'user command'?

Thanks in advance,
Nic

Hi Nic...

Same answer as Didiers but a bit more "detailed".

When you have typed the name in the proper field, press enter. Only then will it be applied.

Ronald and Didier,

Thanks for your replies; so the process would be as follows?:
1) Navigate to 'my user commands' in the customise menu.
2) Right click the button and select 'edit action'
3) In the field labelled 'enter button message text' type 'breakline' and then hit enter?

If i go through these steps the button still appear 'user command'

No.

[ol][li]Navigate to {Categories} New Button, drag and drop the {Commands} New User Command to the desired toolbar location.[/li]
[li]Right click the new button (the one you just dropped), enter Breakline for the name and press enter.[/li]
[li]Right click the new button again, choose Edit action, change type to macros, browse to the desired macro to run.[/li]
[li]Optional: change the button message text in the edit action menu. This will change the "tooltip text" that appears when you hover over the button.[/li][/ol]

The following link has more explanations/pictures; just use "macro" as the action instead of "journal".

Hi Nic,

You have made a mistake between name and "button message text". Find below the name

Thank you all for your help...I have now managed to do it.
I was not right clicking on the button at the right time meaning that you see a different menu when you right click on the button.
