This seems like a stupid question but I'm stumped. I cannot seem to change the shortcut key for the Mate function. It is set for J but I'd like to set it somewhere else. I am using 2019.I have looked through every command on the keyboard tab for the customize menu. All the drop downs are set to all commands. I cannot find it. Are there some commands that have assigned hotkeys that cannot be changed?
My guess... An assembly is not the active document. Insert Mate will only show up in the keyboard list if you're in an assembly.
You are correct. This worked for me.
Thank you
This is rather odd - I am still on 2018, but I have never heard of a "J" shortcut for mate.
I pulled up the keyboard shortcuts (as you did) and did not see a "J" either -
I jumped into an assembly, and hitting the "J" key didn't do anything for me.
I'll be watching this one . . .
I was able to assign "J" to Insert Mate, but it wasn't already there, which also means that I can change it to something else.
I set my own hotkeys. I could not find Mate on the list. Someone else answered correctly above about how I must not have an assembly open so that command does not show. I went and opened a new assembly and looked and found what I needed. I didn't realize that that was what I needed to do.
My guess... An assembly is not the active document. Insert Mate will only show up in the keyboard list if you're in an assembly.
