Customizing Control Panel Shortcuts

Cimatron Control Panel shortcuts can be customized in the following ways:

• New shortcuts can be added.

• Existing shortcuts can be edited.

Adding New Shortcuts

Add Control Panel shortcuts either to a New Cimatron Version or to another application. The new shortcut is added to the active tab (the tab that is highlighted).

To add a new Control Panel shortcut:

1. Click the Add New icon located at the lower left of the Control Panel dialog.

2. The following options are displayed. Select Add New Shortcut.

3. The following additional options are displayed:

Depending on the type of shortcut you wish to add, select one of the options:

New Cimatron Version

New Exe

New Cimatron Version

This enables you to add another Cimatron shortcut, for example, to another Cimatron version or to run Cimatron with a different command line argument.

1. Select the New Cimatron Version option as described above. The following dialog is displayed:

2. Enter the Description, Icon File (browse to the appropriate location), Icon Text and, if required, a Cimatron command line argument to run Cimatron in a specific language. The default language is English.

The format for the language argument is: –lang <language code-country code> (see the example below). Make sure you leave a space before the argument and also between the argument and the desired language.

If the Cimatron menu options and parameters have been translated into another language, load the translated language and enter the language argument to run Cimatron in that language. For example, the argument for German would be "–lang DE-DE".

For example:
