Keyboard shortcuts

All keys at a glance, taken straight from the program so the list is always right.

The shortcuts work as long as the workplane has the focus. While you type in a field they keep out of the way. On the Mac, Cmd applies wherever Ctrl is listed here.

In the editor, “Keyboard shortcuts” in the “Help” area opens the same list as a window.

Command search

Can't find a tool? Press Ctrl+K or click the magnifying glass in the “Help” area, then type what you are looking for: a tool ("fillet", "mirror"), a shape ("cylinder") or a command ("export", "undo"). Move with the arrow keys and press Enter, or click the entry.

• The search understands the English and the German word alike and ignores capital letters and umlauts: "aushoehlen" finds “Hollow”.
• Every entry shows the keys that do the same and the area of the toolbar it lives in, so you learn where it is.
• Entries that are greyed out cannot run right now, mostly because nothing is selected. They stay in the list so the search still tells you where the tool is.

The guide you are reading has a search box too, at the top of every page: type a word or two and it lists the sections that contain all of them, with the matching words marked. Click one, or press Enter for the first, to jump straight there.

• A shape's name adds that shape to the workplane, just like clicking it in the shapes menu.
• With an empty field the search lists the commands you used last at the top.
• The name of a body in your design finds that body and selects it, which helps in a design with many parts. Bodies only appear once you type.
• It works in sketch mode as well, with the sketch tools.
