Body priority when press Shift + Right mouse button

Mirtchii — Fri, 31 Jul 2020 02:27:32 GMT

Hi everyone,

I have been wondering about this for a long time but keep forgetting about it.

The problem is simple, I have to change between Body, Edge, Feature and Part priority very often when create drawing in Inventor. Thing that annoys me is when I want to change to body priority, I have to move my mouse to the toolbar then select the Body priority.

The reason is that when I use the hotkey Shift+RMB the list doesn't contain the Body priority(As in the image).

So, Is there anyway that I can add Body priority when I press Shift+RMB?

Really appreciate any helps.

Thank you very much in advance,

Mirt

Those menus aren't customizable.. Seems like a minor bug/omission in that RMB menu

As an alternative, if you are not using custom filters for anything else, you could set it to body (in "edit select filter"), then toggle between "custom filters" and "Select all" which are available in the RMB menu.

Or, you could assign a keyboard shortcut to "body priority" as well in the customize dialog.

Hi Folks,

Many thanks for bringing this issue! I suspect this is an unintended omission. It should be available. Let me work with the project team to see what we can do.

Thanks again!

Hi @imajar

Thank you for your reply, so as @johnsonshiue and @mcgyvr said in their replies, this may be a bug.

And I will use your suggest as a solution for this problem until this bug is fixed.

Such a simple solution but effective.

Thank you again for helping me get out of this problem.

Have a nice week everyone!
