      The if opt=false and if opt=true should have been if opt==false and if opt==true.

      In order to assign a shortcut to it, you need to assign it to a menu ie. Plugins. In the Preferences>Shortcuts, it will be listed as Plugins/DisplayAxes.

      module Toggle
	def self.dis()
		opt=Sketchup.active_model.rendering_options["DisplayInstanceAxes"]
		if opt==false
			Sketchup.active_model.rendering_options["DisplayInstanceAxes"]=true
		end
		if opt==true
			Sketchup.active_model.rendering_options["DisplayInstanceAxes"]=false
		end
	end
	unless file_loaded?(__FILE__)
		UI.menu("Plugins").add_item("DisplayAxes") {Toggle.dis}
		file_loaded(__FILE__)
	end
end

      Nothing is worthless, it can always be used as a bad example.

          @Robert:
          Glad you got it working.
          @sdmitch:
          Thank you for your time to solve Robert's issue.
          @Pilou:
          That is a good alternative.
          @tetrochuan:
          Did you decide on something else?

          I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.

              replace

                 unless file_loaded?(__FILE__)
      UI.menu("Plugins").add_item("DisplayAxes") {Toggle.dis}
      file_loaded(__FILE__)
   end

              with this

              	unless $sdm_tools_menu
		$sdm_tools_menu = UI.menu("Plugins").add_submenu("SDM Tools")
		$sdm_CorG_tools = $sdm_tools_menu.add_submenu("CorG Tool")
	end
	unless file_loaded?(__FILE__)
		$sdm_CorG_tools.add_item("DisplayAxes") { Toggle.dis }
		file_loaded(__FILE__)
	end

                    This kind of utility is perfect for Custom Toolbars. I have added a toggle_instance_axes command which will be included in the next release. Let me know if you have any more suggestions.

                        Most if not all of these plugins had to be updated for SU2014 so start by downloading a new copy.
