Macro keyboard shortcuts

Macro Engine allows you to assign keyboard shortcuts to the macros that you have created using either the Environment Options or Macro Information dialog, see figures below. You can later press the keyboard shortcuts to execute or run the macros in MagicDraw.

To open the keyboard shortcuts pane in the Environment Options dialog

1. Click Options > Environment on the MagicDraw main menu. The Environment Options dialog will open.
2. Click Keyboard, see figure below.

Environment Options Dialog

The macro information and keyboard shortcuts that are saved either in the Environment Options or Macro Information dialog will be stored as a MagicDraw environment. They will not be kept in a specific project file [*.mdzip].
