Map a button to select all/check interferences using 3D connexion mousepro

[Shag_Bore]

I just got a Spacemouse Pro and am trying to map some of the buttons to perform some of my repetitive tasks. One thing I do often is run the Analyze Interference command. For some reason that command is not in the All commands menu. And when trying to map the select all  function, it doesn't actually select all the parts within the assembly.

Is there keyboard shortcuts to select all parts in an assembly and a shortcut to run the Analyze Interferences, I think I can map it as a macro but i just don't know or can't find the actual shortcuts. 

Thanks!

There is no one button/hotkey to do that. However, you can try creating a "new macro" (within the 3DConnexion software) and mapping that to a button (if it takes that entire string of keystrokes).

I have tried using CTRL A to select all within an assembly but it doesn't select anything, I can using my mouse an select all by boxing it, but I don't know the keyboard shortcut to that. Also many resources state pressing A is the command for Analyze Interferences but on my workstation it creates a sketch.

I just stumbled onto this as I replied- Tools->Customize, looks like I can create my keyboard shorts, I re-mapped Analyze Interference to A, now I am going to try and figure out the select all.

Always seems to happen, spend some time trying to figure out, create a post and then of course you figure it out. 

So I went into the Tools->Customize settings

Mapped All in Camera to Alt A

Mapped AnalyzeInterference to A

Then created the following Macro in the 3D connexion app:

Works like a charm! Hopefully useful to someone else with similar queries....

Have a good one!

spoke too soon, didn't realize until I add more parts to my model that Select "All in Window" only selects visible components that the user can see on their screen. 

I searched around and I can't find a keystroke that mimics me LMB clicking and selecting my assembly. (All parts)

There has to be a option for setting a Keyboard shortcut to accomplish this? Maybe in newer versions? 

I am still able to map the AnalyzeInterference command so I do save a few clicks there.

Thanks!
