How do I create custom strokes in Allegro

blockst

I just had version 15.7 installed on my machine. I am accustomed to Mentor graphics design manager and would like to use \(up or down) instead of Z and W because they are quicker and more precise. How can I create these two strokes as custom strokes?

       I would like to make a request for future versions to allow the middle mouse button to function as a stroke button since the left button is already used to select objects and the panning feature on the mouse isn't as useful. If anyone knows how to configure the middle button for strokes on 15.7 it would be great.

    Essentially I want to use the Mentor Graphic strokes instead of the "funky" Allegro ones.

        I got the zoom and the undo to work, but the copy seems to be weird. I was able to change the stroke to "Copy All", but the program makes me select an object afterwards instead of what is already selected. It also only allows me to select one object and displays extra text. Is there a command along the lines of "Copy All the is currently selected"? Thanks.
