WhoCanDo Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Hi, My wish would be to add to the Smart Option Display, a selection of last used commands/macros. Maybe the last 5 macros I used, so I can use them again repetitively for a while. Quote Link to comment
0 Pat Stanford Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 You know you can do this with tools already right? Quote Link to comment
0 WhoCanDo Posted January 26, 2022 Author Share Posted January 26, 2022 Thanks Pat, Got that one, but I was really referring to commands like Move or Save or more importantly - the macro commands I make myself. Quote Link to comment
0 Pat Stanford Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 And in VW2022 there is a Repeat Last Command menu item (and also a Recent Commands menu item). These are in the Edit Menu by default in the Designer workspace with no keyboard shortcuts. If you are using a custom workspace try adding them and giving them a shortcut instead of using the Smart Options Display. If you convert your macros (scripts) to Plug-In Menu Commands (basically just copy the script into a Command Type PIO Script block in the PIO Manager, then you can add them to your workspace and they will work with Repeat Last Command. If you leave them as scripts then they won't be seen by Repeat Last Command. HTH Quote Link to comment
0 Peter Vandewalle Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 The Repeat Last Command and Recent Commands are also under the right click menu, BTW. 1 Quote Link to comment
0 WhoCanDo Posted January 28, 2022 Author Share Posted January 28, 2022 Hi Peter, Am I missing something here? I don't have Last Command and Recent Commands under right click. I even looked in Workspace Edit to see if was there. Can you expand your suggestion please? Wow, a search on the web for "Repeat Last Command" goes back to before this new platform. All asking the same thing as below. Below left is what I currently have thanks to Pat ( Previous Tools ), however, on the right is what I want. An example list of commands/macros that I frequently use. 5 to 10 would be good. Quote Link to comment
0 Peter Vandewalle Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 @WhoCanDo Are you in 2022 or in 2021? I see the repeat last command isn't in 2021. Quote Link to comment
0 WhoCanDo Posted January 30, 2022 Author Share Posted January 30, 2022 Hi Peter, I am not using 2022 until the bugs are fixed. The above is a picture of 2021. However, I don't see any difference in 2022 when I compare them. Where is Repeat Last Command? Quote Link to comment
0 Peter Vandewalle Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 @WhoCanDo Did you migrate your workspace from 2021 to 2022? Quote Link to comment
0 WhoCanDo Posted January 31, 2022 Author Share Posted January 31, 2022 (edited) Hi Peter, Yes, I did migrated it across. Your question prompted me to look at the standard workspace and I have found it. However, it doesn't work when I add it to my migrated workspace. All other right click options have disappeared and only the Recent Commands is visible. Clicking on it crashes VW. Edited January 31, 2022 by WhoCanDo Spelling mistake Quote Link to comment
0 Elite Exhibits Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 This comment, by hollister design Studio, is in the above thread ... I never use 'views' because the number keys are too convenient - but could see this being helpful on a macbook... (Except the thread starts as Smart Options Display , then wanders across the galaxy a bit ) So. posting this question here: A smarter Smart Option Display Would like to create a Standard Views Set for the Smart Options Display that only has a few of the "Standard Views" - in logical order. Working on a laptop, sans Full Size keyboard, it would supplant the Standard Views Keypad Options with the Smart Options Display Able to create several Tool Sets and link to the Smart Options Display quadrants, Unable to Make or Duplicate and Edit the Standard Views. (...are Standard Views are Menu Items ?) - see attached As always, any appropriate assistance, Smart Options Display Edit Standard Views.pdfanswers, and advice are aptly appreciated Peter Quote Link to comment
0 Elite Exhibits Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 I am answering my own question above as I received comments from Tech Support that indicate some SOD Tool Palettes are NOT editable - One in particular is the Standard Views. It is assumed that ... "You can create a custom toolset in the Workspace Editor and add any tools you want, and then set the toolset as one of the SOD options" Working on a laptop with NO external mouse / keyboard, I have a Workspace with extra & modified Keyboard Shortcuts and extended sets of contextual menus. The SOD looks promising as it added opportunity to the efficiency mix. Would love a Standard Views Tool Set with only the few I need & use, positioned where I am able to land on them first. As always, any applicable answers and appropriate advice are aptly appreciated. Peter Quote Link to comment

Hi,
My wish would be to add to the Smart Option Display, a selection of last used commands/macros.
Maybe the last 5 macros I used, so I can use them again repetitively for a while.
