Hotkey issue - start desktop short + selected program

Post by CADii »

Hi! I have bought the enterprise model and have made it to work properly until now. When I am using the right side hotkeys (4-6 and 10-12) it start the shortcut for both the program am I'm using but also for the the desktop settings, e.g. when using CATIA it start the selected function but also the task manager or even lock windows in an another key... Do anyone know the solution to my problem or have the same issue?

Side question - Do anyone know if it is possible to have different hotkeys for each workbench in CATIA v5? So it switches automatic when changing workbenches :)

Start the 3Dconnexion Settings to customise your own buttons mapping.

As for the workbench switch, a simple click on the CATIA v5 application window workbench toolbar should do it.

Does it show "CATIA" at the top of the SME LCD?
Are you using our GUI, or the one inside CATIA to assign buttons?
The CATIA solution is not currently sensitive to the environments.

I know how to switch between workbenches but wondering if you can have different button mapping for each workbench? So it changes the buttons on the LCD when entering another workbench :)

CATIA does not currently automatically switch the LCD for different environments.
You would need to do that manually. The GUI can not help with it.

Yes, it shows the catia on the screen and the selected functions that I have entered in the application. I added the function through 3dconnexion and search for the wished function within the app for each button.
