X5: Toggle wireframe/enhanced?

[Colin]

I assigned F9 a s a shortcut key to go from "enhanced" View mode to "wireframe" (something I do a lot), but can we get it to toggle back & forth between enhanced & wireframe with that same shortcut key? It seems to want to be assigned another key to go back to enhanced.

I set mine to Ctrl-Shift-W for wireframe and Ctrl-Shift-E for enhanced. Almost as good, I think...

Thanks, but I really would like to be able to toggle with the one key.

No way to toggle with the same key that I know of.

I don't think you can with the same key. In Ai you can, I set up a button on my Cintiq to do that, but based on how the options are presented in the drop down menu for Corel, I don't think that you are able to do that with the same keystroke.

I haven't run across any way of using the same key either. I use alt+P all the time for power clipping and set up the hot key, alt+E to extract. Nowhere did I find any info for toggling the same key to reverse a function. Maybe you should tell Corel about it and they can include that in a future update?

Dang. Ok, thanks for the replies. Funny how my 13 year old ScanVec Inspire will toggle on the F9 key for wireframe/color.

You should get something like this.

It's made for gaming I would imagine, but could work for design software too.

The macro certainly seems cool... but why is it needed?

In X3 and I imagine 4 and 5 as well there is a command called Toggle View (default key is Shift-F9) that toggles between wireframe and enhanced.

All I did was switch Keyboard shortcut with the Full Screen Preview command (F9).


<edit> yes, this works in X5, as well...

Good catch - learn something new in Draw every day..

Hmmm, Ok, I did it that way and deleted the Macro. I couldn't find the "Toggle View" in any list, but I found the little "search" icon and typed it in, and found it. F9 now toggling!

Thanks guys!
