Inventor. Keyboard Shortcuts

Transcription

1 Keyboard Shortcuts Inventor shortcut keys, or keyboard shortcuts, allow you to access certain tools by pressing a single key or a key combination. Many shortcut keys correspond to command aliases. keys along the top of the keyboard provide instant access to tools and are programmable to perform a series of commands. Control and shift key combinations require that you press and hold the [Ctrl] or [Shift] key and then press a second character. Like many Inventor interface items, keyboard shortcuts are only available for certain file types or work environments. Some files or work environments share the same keyboard shortcuts. : IPT = part file IAM = assembly file IDW and DWG = drawing file IPN = presentation file / Work Axis Creates a new work axis ] Work Plane Creates a new work plane [.] Work Point Creates a new work point [;] Grounded Work Point Creates a grounded work point and activates the 3D Move/Rotate tool IPT
