Transferring mapkeys

[verge]

What's the simplest way to transfer mapkeys from one PC to another? To make them mobile, so to speak?


I haven't learned how to make text mapkeys yet (!), but I want to be able to take all my mapkeys with me whenever and wherever I need to. Is there a simple way to do this?


Anyone know of a tutorial on text mapkeys?

Mapkeys are stored in the config.pro. The look like this:

mapkey ad @MAPKEY_LABELAlign Dimensions;\
mapkey(continued) ~ Timer `UI Desktop` `UI Desktop` `popupMenuRMBTimerCB`;\
mapkey(continued) ~ Command `ProCmdDwgAlignDims`;

I have our config.pro organized into sections and mapkeys organized into sections as well.

Adding a ! in front of a line in config.pro make that line a comment. I use this to label and organize it for easier readability and for taking to different locations.

save a copy of your config.pro file on the computer you use every day.

open the copy of the config.pro file and delete everything that isn't a mapkey

save the file named config.pro (in a different directory than your original of course.

take this file with you on a thumb drive or on the cloud and whenever you work on another copmuter, open this config.pro file by going to <tools> <options>.

Pro-E will load your new config.pro options and over write the native settings with anything that is different between the native and your own.

This way, you can utilize your own mapkeys but still have default file locations or other settings remain native to the machine you are working on.

You can also load other personal settings besides just mapkeys if you want. basically, anything but specific file locations can reside in your "custom" config.pro file that you can load up.

you can do the same thing with all of the other setup files in pro-e too if you want.
