Marking menu customization

The marking menu is nice in Fusion, and I am wanting to use it more, but there are features in it that I don't want that I'd like to change. Specifically I would like to change push-pull to create sketch, hole to joint, and delete to measure. I would also like to swap edit view to edit title block in the drawing space. I understand I can just use keyboard shortcuts, but I was just hoping to use the marking menu more.

The modification of Fusion Marking Menus is an intense process.  There are unique marking menus for each Fusion working environment such as sketching, solid modeling, etc so the first step is to find the correct marking menu you need to modify.  Once you find it, you have to determine the Fusion command you want to substitute in the marking menu and the requirements go on and on.  The file you need to modify is an XML file so a good text editor will do.  Before you start to modify, any XML file make sure you make a copy of it so if you make a mistake you can restore functionality.  The whole process is rather intensive and takes a lot of searching.  Once you find the proper location and commands, the process is very easy.  Last thing, after any change to a XML file, you must restart Fusion to have it take effect.

 

If you think you still want to try you hand at this process, drop me a Private Message and I will be happy to create a video on the changing of one or two marking menu commands.  They may not be the ones you are thinking about but my video will show the process.
