I want to know how to assign a Shotcut Key to the PropertysTab window.

[tgjang]

Hi

I think it would be very user friendly if the IronCad PropertysTab window could apply a Shotcut Key.
Therefore, End user would be grateful if somebody could tell me how I can assign a Shotcut Key to the PropertyTab.
If it is not possible, I have to develop a program using AutoHotKey.

It's a similar story, but we've created an AutoHotKey programme for the "Ctrl+`" shotcut key to switching between the Scene Tab and Properties Tab, which is very useful as it saves us a lot of mouse clicks.

Thanks.

I looked for the command, but couldn't find it.
So I tried to program it using AutoHotKey, but the only way to recognise the menu is by coordinates, so that's not possible either.

Hi Jang,

You can not pick anything with AHK from ahk_pid or ahk_id or Button's class because those are random. I went through a lot of frustration trying to figure this out.

You can only pick that from image search or find text(The library that seraching image by text). I've written code to open the Part Properties or Smart Painter in this way.

Thanks. Kim

I tried converting your autohotkey 1.0 program to autohotkey 2.0 version and it didn't work, so I put it on hold.
 IronCAD developers 
1. Part Properties Tab,
2. Scene, Properties tab toggle,

The above 2 menu's shotcut key function should be added to IronCAD.

Hi Jang,

Maybe that is a library issue. I used some libraries work on AHK v1.

Anyways...why did you try that? I think there is no huge merit using AHK v2 for now

Thank you kim.

It doesn't work with AutoHotKey Version 2.0

It would be much faster and simpler for the IronCAD developer to provide a shotcut key function.
Although I'm not sure when they will add it.
