"create" custom key

[cingolo]

Hello everyone! I am not sure to post in the appropriate section, I would like to create a button (in the table setting) that inserts me a text automatically. I explain better in my office we always add notes regarding welds or treatments and it is boring every time repeat the usual string of 12 lines. not even if it is possible to create in pro/e "script". is it possible to do this? and how?

p.
I thought I would create a custom layout but it doesn't suit our case since we treat different products and have different layouts would be uncomfortable.:biggrin:

thanks to who will answer me

I explain my method:
1) in the config indicate which directory contains notes
2) Store the note, in the above directory (just a txt file)
3) create a macro that recalls the note or, to avoid doing so many macros for how many notes are, create a macro that leads you to the opening of the directory so you can select the note you need.

Thank you again for the answer! :finger:
but I must ask you to have a lot of patience with me:redface:
Could you explain that step by step? are still pro/e novello:biggrin:

for the config option you must set the option pro_note_dir and how value insert the directory in which you want to put notes (for example c:\00000_configuration\note)

to create the note you can safely write the text in the notepad and save the file with a name that reminds you of the note (you always remember to avoid spaces in the file name)

test this way and insert the note with the appropriate pro/e button and see what happens.

If you prefer a macro, I'll film you on how macros are made... I don't know if I can do it tonight, I'm baked like a sardella.

a video I would like to:finger:

I would solve the problem by creating a new symbol.

 

[maxopus]

you can also make it with a symbol.
I personally use the symbols when I need to insert text and graphics.
in case it is only text I use notes.

below the example to create the macro for inserting a note from files:
www.aureaservizi.com/archive/filmati/macro_nota/macro_nota.htmlonce created you just use the key sequence to run it (in the example the sequence is nnn.b.: If you have never used macros, I suggest you use a double letter and read the guide to better understand how to use them.

Thank you so much for the video! :finger:
I have to say that with the macro created in the office I saved 15 minutes of annotation:wink:
I don't know how to thank you, if you go for genova, I offer you a drink:

of nothing, studies well the macros, in pro/e are a very powerful tool.
help you to shorten the use of commands but, they have a particularity that distinguishes them clearly from the macro vba.
are able, without any need for knowledge in terms of programming, to accept input during execution.
then the macro part, stops where the data is required, and after entering the data continues until the end of the instruction.
This is more important than it might seem.
