UVW Unwrap Max 2008 Hotkeys

For some reason I can not get any hot keys to work in the Max 2008 Uvw Unwrap editor. For example Ctrl+T is usually the shortcut to toggle target weld and I have to do it now from the pull down menu which is a pain in the arse. Anyone else having this problem? Even if I load the default keyboard setup it just doesn't seem to want to work. All the hotkeys in the Uvw Unwrap Editor are non existant. :-(

    Might be your Keyboard Shortcut Override Toggle is off.

    The Keyboard Shortcut Override Toggle lets you toggle between using only the "Main User Interface" shortcut keys and using both the main shortcuts and shortcut keys for functional areas such as Editable Meshes, Track View, NURBS, and so on.

    When the Override toggle is off, only the Main User Interface shortcuts are recognized. When Override is on, both Main UI and functional area shortcuts are recognized; however, if there is a conflict between a shortcut assigned to a feature and one assigned to the Main UI, when Override is on, the feature's shortcut takes precedence.

    You can customize keyboard shortcuts on the Keyboard panel of the Customize User Interface dialog. The lists in the keyboard panel show which shortcuts have been assigned to which command or feature.

    I've been having a problem with this for a long time in Max 8. The toggle switch fixed it, thank you!

    Yeah, kind of one of those hidden "features" that can really screw someone. smile.gif Glad it helped.
