Is there a way to create a keyboard shortcut to change a curve linetype from solid to hidden? I find the current method a bit tiresome (select line>go to properties>dropdown menu for linetype>select hidden).
Would also love such a shortcut to change layer of a selection.
Id love to program a hot key (macro) into my razer stream controller.
Thank you.
Hi Peter - a macro like this
! -_Properties _Pause _Object _Linetype
_Object _Hidden _EnterEnd
-Pascal

wow that was fast!!! Ill test it now and report back.
almost worked, just had to delete the underscore before Hidden. Now works. This is great! Thank you. 
Now Im trying to create a similar hotkey for changing an objects layer. I’ve tried editing this various ways but keep getting the error “unknown commend 0.13”. I have a layer 0.13.
These dont work:
! -_Properties _Pause _Layer _0.13 _EnterEnd
! -_Properties _Pause _Layer 0.13 _EnterEnd
! -_Properties _Pause _Layer “0.13” _EnterEnd
! -_Properties _Pause _Layer _Select 0.13 _EnterEnd
! -_Properties _Pause _Layer _Select “0.13” _EnterEnd
Hi Peter - sorry about the extra underscore - your layer macro has the same problem in the layer name. Put layer names inside double-quotes as well - or any text that you use in a macro - so that spaces can be included without triggering an Enter at the command line.’
! -_Properties _Pause _Object _Layer “0.13” _EnterEnd

Thanks Pascal. This worked but I had to remove the quotation marks around 0.13. Thank you so much!
Hm - that seems incorrect - @PeterB can you please try typing them - the quotes - right in Rhino? I tihnk Copy/paste from Discourse messes with this character somehow.
-Pascal
Typing the quotations does work now (versus copy/pasting).
However, this same shortcut command does not work when I try to set it for a word layer (HATCH, in this case). It tells me “Multiple layers are named “HATCH”. Enter full layer path.” Not sure what to do here as I only have one layer named HATCH.
Hi Peter - that looks like a bug to me, I’ll check it.
-Pascal
Thanks
I changed the layer name to HHATCH and it worked. I think it’s confused by the fact that I have several layers with the word HATCH as the prefix.
@PeterB - can you please post or send to tech@mcneel.com a file with layers named so that they do not work with the macro? The file can be empty… So far my quick tests work so there must be a detail I am missing.

Hi Peter - thanks… cannot seem to repeat this
this works for example - is that what fails for you?
-Pascal
Yes, that does not work on my end. Using Version 6 SR35 (6.35.21222.17001, 8/10/2021). But the workaround of adding an H solved the issue.
