Create and manage keyboard shortcuts
Keyboard shortcuts, sometimes known as hotkeys can be created and customized in CMM-Manager. These keyboard shortcuts allow the user to access commands quickly without unnecessary mouse interactions.
Default Shortcuts
Some predefined shortcuts exist in CMM-Manager as follows:
Ctrl + O
Copy / Cut / Paste (fast method)
It is possible to drag & drop program operations by using hotkeys. Select operation(s) from the Program Database, push and hold Ctrl or Alt key and then drag the operations to a new location. Ctrl will result in copy(s) of the selected operations, where Alt results in moving the operations from one location to another. This is particularly useful for re-ordering measurement operations. If the Full Auto path planning option is used, the measurement path will update automatically upon dragging the measurement operation to a new location.
Define a Shortcut
From the Quick Access Toolbar, select Customize. The Customize Dialog appears, choose the Keyboard Tab.
Select a menu category from the Category dropdown box.
Select a command from the Commands list.
If the command is already defined, it will be displayed inside the Key Assignments section. In the above example, the Program>Run command is defined.
To define a new Shortcut, select a command and press the desired shortcut keys - for example Ctrl+F6 as shown above for Program>Batch Run
Note: Key combinations work best to avoid conflicts when typing within CMM-Manager
Shortcut Key Report
From the Quick Access Toolbar, press the Shortcut Key Report button to view, print, or save a report of the defined shortcut keys
