I very usable capability would be appreciated

Post by Donald Thomson »

When in different editors, we can use the Shift key and click an add option (like adding a drawer) and we don't have to go thru the construction settings dialog.

When adding cabinets in Batch mode, it would be really convenient to be able to hold the Shift key when clicking on a cabinet and we don't have to go thru the dialog that says Add. This would save a lot of time and mouse clicks.

Would this be possible for the programmers to add?

Thanks!!

Hi Donald
I do not know if this helps or not but
As far as adding cabinets in the batch area. If you do not need to change the sizes you can simply check the square in the lower left corner of the cabinet icon of each cabinet that you wish to add. Then at the top of your library you will see a square with a green +. If you click on that it will load all cabinets that you have selected.
As for other editors if when in the cabinet editor if you click on help and select hot keys. You will get a list of all of the hot keys available for the different editors. I.e. While in the main area of the cabinet editor if you hit shift d then it will take you to the door/drawer editor then when you are done if you hit shift and a it will take you back to main. I do not know of a hot key that will take you to the drawer box editor.
