Q for Wayne M. Tiffany

Hi Wayne, I have downloaded the keypad macro's, maybe I am being a bit thick here, lol, but how do I get them to work using the keypad? I know I must have the numlock on, but where do I put these macro's and what do I need to do?



The article by Lee.L Bell explains what they do, but not, "what to do, from download, to where and how", to enable them to work. I have recorded my own macro's and ran them, but I suspect this is not the way for the keypad macro's



Many thanks



You are only intelligent as in what you know, would you like fries with that?

Basically, the macros need to be on your drive at C:\Program Files\SolidWorks2005\Macros (or your SW install location) and then you need to assign all the macros to the keys - a fair bit of work. Go to Tools/Customize to do that.

However, with the new Copy Settings Wizard, you can import all of my hotkey assignments and be up & running in a flash. If that's the desired action, go to

and grab the file SW2005HotkeysOnly.sldreg. Then when you run it on your machine, the wizard will take all of the hotkey assignments and stuff them into your registry. There are more assignments than just the numpad macros, but if you downloaded all of the macros, you should be just fine.

Let me know if you need more help, or when you are up & running.
