Hi all,
I find myself often cycling between selection modes (i.e. select anything, select component, select text...). Each time I RMB then click the required mode. I would prefer to assign the ones I change frequently to shortcut keys, but I can't find any option for this. Does anyone know if this is possible?
Thanks for any help.
The Filter command is already assigned to Ctrl-Alt F, but that might be as close as you can get.
The best way is to create a macro and assign it to a key or customized menu.
Agree. I have assigned several macros to 'Filter' settings.
Regards Klaus
I use a couple macros to set the filter to my liking. I assign them to a keystroke in the Customize menu.
This one sets it to Comps, traces & vias:
Application.ExecuteCommand("Filter")
SelectionFilterDlg.Nothing.Click()
SelectionFilterDlg.SelectionObjectsDlg.Parts = true
SelectionFilterDlg.SelectionObjectsDlg.GluedParts = false
SelectionFilterDlg.SelectionObjectsDlg.Traces = true
SelectionFilterDlg.SelectionObjectsDlg.Vias = true
This sets it to everything including the board outline:
Application.ExecuteCommand("Filter")
SelectionFilterDlg.Anything.Click()
SelectionFilterDlg.SelectionObjectsDlg.BrdOutline = true
Hi, thanks for the example. I will give them a try, I had not tried to build my own macros yet.
