Keyboard shortcut to "All Visible" command

Hi, Is it possible to assign keyboard shortcut to "All Visible" command in Inventor 2019 assembly environment? The way I am doing it now is, expand "Representations" in model tree, right click on desired representation and check "All Visible", not the most efficient way of executing a very common command. Please advice. Thank you.

No there is not a hotkey or option to assign one for that..

One could cobble up some ilogic code to perform that functionality though..

Maybe you want to look into changing your process some by utilizing one representation that always has everything visible.. And just toggling back to that when you want everything on..

The Master design view always has everything visible.

you can make things invisible though and then you have to either change reps and go back to master or expand and click all visible

The best way I've found without resorting to macros or iLogic is a two-step shortcut sequence:

 

1.  Assign a shortcut key combo to All Invisble Components selection (normally available through R-click > Selection), or add to Marking Menu if this is an action you perform very frequently.

2.  Alt+V to toggle visibility

An ilogic routine keystroked to "AV" works for me (most of the time).  Haven't spent any time trying to figure out the periodic error, but in general, it's helpful:

 

'trigger = iTrigger()
Dim oDoc As Document
oDoc = ThisDoc.Document
Dim comp As ComponentOccurrencesEnumerator
comp =oDoc.ComponentDefinition.Occurrences.AllLeafOccurrences
Dim Occ As ComponentOccurrence
For Each Occ In comp
Occ.Visible = True
Next

Message 4 from pball gets it done by just using the 'show all' snippet in it's own ilogic external rule that can be keystroked as desired.
