    Question Shade toggle shortcut

    Does anyone know of a keyboard shortcut or macro for quick toggling of shade/wire frame. I find having to use the mouse to pick and click the appropriate mode time consuming when a single keystroke would be much simpler. Any help greatly appreciated. Regards, Ron Oldenbeuving.

    You might have to program it yourself from the
    on screen clues. As an example to toggle a view mode
    in regular AutoCAD, you need to write a macro button
    or edit your pgp file to include ALT+V 3 T to toggle to
    Top View.
    What keyboard short-cut hints does Inventor offer you?

    Thanks Mike. I currently have Ctrl+` for shaded, Shft+` for shaded with edges and Ctrl+Shft+` for wire frame. I was hoping to set up a key to toggle between these three. Unfortunately, I'm a complete amateur when it comes to writing macros. I'm just gonna have to learn I suppose. Any tips from anyone would be greatly appreciated.

    Use below macro & assign NUM 1 key to it them you can toggle by pressing NUM 1 key from the numaric key pad

    Sub ToggleShade() '************TEsted*************** ***NUM 01***
    Dim oView As View
    Set oView = ThisApplication.ActiveView
    If oView.DisplayMode = kHiddenEdgeRendering Then
    oView.DisplayMode = kWireframeRendering
    ElseIf oView.DisplayMode = kShadedRendering Then
    oView.DisplayMode = kWireframeRendering
    ElseIf oView.DisplayMode = kWireframeRendering Then
    oView.DisplayMode = kShadedRendering
    End If
    oView.Update
    End Sub
