Keyboard Shortcuts

Getting Started  Previous  Next

hsCADCreator is installed with shortcuts from the keyboard for quick access to most frequently used tools. These shortcut keys may be modified by first selecting the down arrow ( ssToolbarDropArrow ) located to the right side any toolbar, then choosing "Add or Remove Buttons" ð "Customize..." This will activate the "Customize" window.  Select the "Keyboard" tab. Within this tab it is possible to assign, remove, or reset keyboard shortcuts for one or many commands. Note that the keyboard shortcuts will not be saved unless you save your current layout. Visit Saving My Layout for more information.
