Folks, just need some help. For a horizontal Ray, i can have multiple configurations TC1 -- TC8. I would like to set up the configurations using "Keyboard Short Cuts"; Example: TC1 - Orange Ray--> Key Board Shortcut is "a". Tc2--> Yellow Ray --> Key board ShortCut os "s".. Can you please guide me through the process of setting this up?

Hi John, thank you. But i was looking to configure the 24 variations of horizontal ray with different colors using the keyboard, if that made any sense?

Then it is both links you want. The first one tells you how to create the Control Bar configurations to select the tool and configuration. The second one tells you how to create a Keyboard Shortcut for those Control Bar buttons.
