Is there any way to edit these underlined letters "hotkeys" in the inventor drop down menus? Having to add lots of leader lines and such to multiple weld symbols get old. Or is there a way to make a key alias to do this? I have not been able to find where this is done in inventor. Ive done it many times in CADD.
Thanks
Tools \ Customize... Keyboard tab, you can create and modify keybaord hotkeys for just about anything you want to do in Inventor. Have fun with it. This is also where you make changes to the Ribbon and Marking Menus.

Thank you for the reply. I am familiar with changing the alias of a command to what ever you need it to be. I have even changed around the marking menus and ribbon a bit as well. What i am talking about is i have a welding symbol placed in an IDW. I RMB on the symbol and get the drop down menu. The different commands have underlined letter in them. In CADD i use this for my snaps and changed the menus hotkeys so i t would make for fast selecting the snap i wanted per snap over ride commands.

So you're talking about editing the context menu for a specific command? As in this picture, you would want to change the underlined "P" in properties to something else, or add other commands to this? Is this correct?

Yes, you nailed it good sir! Either that or have a command alias to change the context menu keys to hot keys...if that makes since. Instead of clicking the symbol and then selecting the context menu command. Just press a hotkey. I looked through the customize tabs but i did not find a add vertex/leader command.
I believe that may be a good one for the Idea Station, it doesn't look like there is a way to do what you're looking for.
