How do I create a shortcut of hide in NX unigraphics?

In Siemens NX (Unigraphics), creating a shortcut for the "Hide" command can be helpful for streamlining your workflow. , Siemens NX doesn't provide a direct way to create keyboard shortcuts through the user interface. However, you can use the "Customize" option to achieve a similar result by creating a custom toolbar button for the "Hide" command. Here's a general guide:

Creating a Custom Toolbar Button for Hide:

1. Open Siemens NX:

   • Launch Siemens NX and open the part or assembly that you're working on.

2. Access the Toolbar Customization:

   • Go to the menu bar and select "View" > "Toolbars" > "Customize..." to open the Customize dialog.

3. Create a New Toolbar:

   • In the Customize dialog, switch to the "Toolbars" tab.
   • Click the "New..." button to create a new toolbar. Give it a meaningful name.

4. Add a New Button:

   • Switch to the "Commands" tab.
   • In the "Categories" list, select "Show" (since Hide is related to showing and hiding objects).
   • In the "Commands" list, find and select "Hide" from the list.

5. Drag the Hide Command to the New Toolbar:

   • Drag the "Hide" command from the Commands list and drop it onto your newly created toolbar.

6. Assign an Icon:

   • Right-click on the new button you just added to your toolbar and choose "Change Button Image..." to assign an icon.

7. Close the Customize Dialog:

   • Click "Done" to close the Customize dialog.

8. Accessing the Hide Command:

   • Now, you should see your custom toolbar with the Hide button.
   • Clicking this button will activate the Hide command.

Note:

Keep in mind that the exact steps and options may vary slightly depending on the version of Siemens NX you are using. If there have been updates or changes to the user interface after my last update in January 2022, I recommend checking the official Siemens NX documentation or user guides for the most accurate and up-to-date information.

Creating custom toolbars and buttons provides a level of customization, allowing you to tailor Siemens NX to your specific workflow preferences.
