Title: HOT KEYS ... <ouch>
Post by: Mark on August 07, 2014, 02:31:53 PM
I'm using AutoCAD Civil 3D 2014 on a loner PC. When I <right-click> and bring up the Osnap menu the hot-keys (underlined letters) are not there. The keys still work though! Can I turn those on or are they gone forever?

thanks

It has got to be a Windows thing. My last PC had XP on it.

It is a Windows thing....Control Panel, Ease of Access, Make Keyboard easier to use, check the box next to "Underline keyboard shortcuts and access keys"

If one is already using the rt-cick function there is no need to see that underline, for one reason why not have them cluttering up the view.

A little underline under one letter is not clutter my opinion.  I will say that I use the mnemonic indicators are very help in learning keyboard shortcuts.  Once learned I never look at the right-click menu or for that matter ribbon, pull down, buttons, etc for those commands.  So essences I have even less clutter.   ^-^

Mark,

Try holding the ALT key down and see if the pull downs and what not light up with Mnemonics characters.
