Assign Pattern option ( disable or a way to set it )

 I am using the funckey "code below" and now with v16.5 a "Assign Pattern" window is popping up.   I am trying to either set the pattern or disable it completely so my "F" key is more effective.

 Thanks in advance for the reply :)

 

funckey F "generaledit; prepopup ; pop dyn_option_select 'Selection set@:@Clear all selections' ; set prompt ; prompt 'Enter Ref Des (on next step click pattern to keep it highlighted' ; refdes $prompt ; zoom selection; hilight  ;generaledit "

    The Assign Pattern window is showing up because you have a selected component when the command "hilight" is ran.  If you remove the "; hilight" from the funckey command you should be good to go.  The Highlight command (Hilight) has changed in 16.5 and now support pattern highlighting instead of just a single highlight stripe "candy stripe", this is why you are seeing the Assign Pattern window that you haven't seen previously.

    Hope this helps,
