How to make a situation based bindkey

Amit Biswas
Hi, I am trying to assign a key for multiple functions, one of the functions will be called at a time depending on the situation. Example: In normal condition the right click button on the layout pops up a window , but when I move some objects right click at that time rotates the object. Thanks, Amit

  • Hi Amit,

    Well, if it's as simple as having different behaviour when you're in an enter function (e.g. when digitizing points), then you can assign a different bindkey for the normal and enterfunction behaviour.

    If you need to detect other scenarios, the trick would be to define a SKILL function which detected which situation you're in, and then call the appropriate function you want - and then make your bindkey call your SKILL function.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
