Design sheet swap from num key now disabled in 7?

Post by cousbey »

Hi,
It seems a bit of functinality has been lost in changing to 7.
In 6 one could very quickly navigate sheets of a multi-sheet design by just pressing the number keys.
That doesn't work now in 7 and when I tried to add it by using keyboard mapping, 'Goto Design Sheet n' is unassigned and can't be changed.
Am I missing something?

As you say, these commands are available for mapping via the Set Keyboard Mapping dialogue.

I know that something was fixed here in the latest Service Pack (SP3) and can confirm that it works for me.

Are you running the latest version ?

Hi Iain,
Thanks for the very quick response.

I updated Proteus this morning! I've now got 7.1 SP3 build 3854.

In 'Edit Keyboard Map' under the 'Application (Design Menu) Commands' group the 'Assign' & 'Unassign' buttons are greyed out for 'Goto Design Sheet 1' etc and clicking in the 'Key sequence...' box has no effect.
Further investigation seems to show that I can't assign a keyboard shortcut to anything that hasn't already got one set!

Anyway you've re-assured me that it should work so I'll wait for a fix.

regards

I can also confirm that the latest SP3 does work rather well.

For example, select 'Goto Design Sheet 1' and then click left with the mouse in the field <No Key Set>. The cursor must move there, even though Assign/Unassign buttons stay grayed so far. Now, type in the sequence you want assign to, for example 1. The Assign button switches on ungrayed and once you press it then the new sequence should be displayed into the Available Commands. I can also confirm that the new programmed key sequence works in multiple sheet designs.
Kind regards,

1) Contact a Labcenter distributor in your country (see the webpage for details)
2) Pay for the version that provides the features you want
3) Get a CD and/or download instructions from the distributor.
4) Start designing

Simple :)

Ettore,
Thanks for the explanation. Now I see how it works! I was expecting something more obvious to happen when I clicked in the 'Key sequence' box.
