Hitting the delete key while assigning a keyboard shortcut in the shortcut column of the dialog accidentally re-assigns the delete key to a new command, usually a command that is not available while performing regular tasks, thus goes completely unnoticed until the use attempts to use the delete key to actually delete something. While creating the new shortcut, they make an error for which they instinctively strike the DELETE key. What we invariably discover is that the customer has recently entered the dialog and attempted to assign a keyboard shortcut to another command. Recording macros and using the Personal Macro Workbook is fully explained in our Expert Skills Books and E-books. It’s important to make sure to save macros into the workbook itself if you need to share it with others. In these cases the general culprit tends to be the Keyboard shortcut tab of the SOLIDWORKS customization dialog. If your macro-enabled workbook doesn’t work for another user it may be because the macros are in your Personal Macro Workbook and therefore inaccessible to other users. Both parties chuckle a bit when this occurs, until the seriousness of the situation sets in, that the customer is looking at performing a registry reset to fix this seemingly insignificant issue.Īfter a few minutes we typically discover that right-clicking on a component, dimension or entity will permit us to use the delete option from the shortcut menu (unless that has been hidden too!). On more than one occasion we have had customers contact our support team with what seems to be a benign symptom, the delete key not working with SOLIDWORKS? Sketch entities, Dimensions, or entire components, it does not seem to matter what we attempt to delete, the delete key will simply not work.
