PowerDraft Shortcut Setup

The following describes how to make the most of the PowerDraft shortcut functions
to continue using promis-e as easily as possible.
Copy the shortcut.txt file to your C:\promis-e Data\Config folder or somewhere else
easy to find.
In PowerDraft use the menu item Workspace>Configuration and locate the variable
MS_ACCUDRAWKEYS
Click Select and locate the C:\promis-e Data (M)\Config\Shortcut.txt file.
Click Yes to accept the changes.
Restart PowerDraft and you will now be able to use the shortcut commands. Make
sure to hit the spacebar before typing the shortcut letter.
Once you are in a page of the project you can try the following:
Hit space followed by one of the following letter combinations:
Space
O
F
SM
SS
SD
SX
Z
?
GK
WD
WC
WW
VT
VB
I
N
C

"AccuDraw Mode"
"ecad exec projectmanager"
"ecad exec field"
"ecad exec insertmacro"
"ecad exec byname"
"ecad exec byID"
ecad exec signalcrossreference
"ecad exec byname"
"AccuDraw Dialog Shortcuts"
"Dialog CmdBrowse"
"ecad exec dashedwire"
"ecad exec centerwire"
"ecad exec continuouswire"
ecad exec vdegreeup
ecad exec vdegreedown
"ecad exec catalogmanager"
"ecad exec navbyclick"
"ecad exec multiplecopy"

Adding to the list is done by finding the promis-e command (use SPACE followed by
GK), then typing ECAD and clicking on the exec in the middle column. Scroll down
the list of command until you locate the command you want to assign to a shortcut.
Then use SPACE followed by ? to show the shortcuts. Either edit a shortcut you dont
think you will need or click on New and enter a letter combination, description and
command.
Ensure that if you have a shortcut of SS that you dont then enter a new shortcut of
S. This will prevent all 2 character shortcuts prefixed with S from working.
