Hot Key Hopes

I’d like to create some Hot Keys, not sure where they would be set in Options. I know there is the Keyboard section and the Alias Section:

  1. Toggle enable selection of Control Points (while disabling selection of anything else, ideally with the same command).

  2. Toggle “Near” Object Snap.

  3. Toggle “Cen” Object Snap.

  4. Toggle “Project” and “Planar” Snap Modes (ideally together). I’d add “noecho” to that one, if I’m understanding what that accomplishes.

make these an alias

to add a points selection filter while filtering out other selections

-selectionfilter set all no controlpoints enter

(you will probably want to hot key -selectionfilter set all no enter as well)

the syntax to toggle osnap near would be

-osnap near toggle enter

To add a center osnap

-osnap cen toggle enter

to toggle osnap project

-projectosnap toggle

to toggle planar,

-planar

Hi @djhg

You can do this a number of ways. I don’t know V8 but in V7 you simply add the macro to your hotkeys in the keyboard section of Options. First open the snap toolbar and edit an icon you can then copy and paste the snap command you wish to place on a hotkey. Then open options keyboard and paste your macro there. You can also make them one shots instead of toggles if you wish those macros are also on the icons when you edit them being either left or right mouse button.
