Title: Hot Key F10
Post by: ScrappyScooter on December 13, 2008, 11:11:16 AM

I'm trying to use F10 (function key 10) as a hot key.
I can use all of the other Fkeys.
I am using the 6 Axis screen set.
I noticed that the Feed Rate was using F10, so I used Screen Designer to clear it from those buttons.
But F10 still will not be accepted in the system hot key window. I even tried to paste it in the pop-up window that say "press any key".
I can past other numbers in there but not 121.

Any ideas?

What are you wanting to use the F10 key for?

Looks like F10 must be reserved in some way :(

Hood, thanks for checking.
The strange thing is that with the 6 axis screen set, the F10 adjusted the feed rate (may be the same in other screens, I did not check).
Which gives me an idea. F10 can be assigned in Screen Designer. So maybe I'll make a phantom B axis jog button and assign it F10.

Thanks again Hood.
