Function Key setup for a function

CadAce2K
CadAce2K over 5 years ago

Hi. I'm doing a copy of multiple elements in multiple locations and use the 'snap to/pin' as my end location. I'm looking to set up a function key (say F2) to do this. So once I start copying the elements and select them and set my start from point, I want the function key to 'snap to/pin' when I hover over the next pin location. Anyone have a trick for that? Thanks in advance.

    There is a persistent snap setting available. Try a right click - Snap Pick to - Persistent Snap - Pin. You can turn on scriptmode +e at the command line which will report the actual syntax used.
