Hi All
Is there a way to copy the button settings between environments in Inventor?
I have the buttons how I want them for assemblies but I want to use the same settings in weldments.
Is there a way that I can copy them over or do I have to program everything again?
Thanks

The GUI can't help you with that but they are just lines in your %appdata%\3Dconnexion\3DxWare\Cfg\Inventor.xml file.
You can copy them with any editor. XML syntax is not tolerant of simple mistakes. Be careful with your changes (make a back up copy).
You will see a section with
<ButtonBank>
<ID>AMxAssemblyEnvironment</ID>
... bunch of lines
and another section with:
<ButtonBank>
<ID>AMxWeldmentEnvironment</ID>
... bunch of lines
This assumes the commands you saved in one environment are actually valid in the other environment. Some may not be.
It is a one time copy. If you change them in one environment, the changes won't be reflected in the other environment.
