Keyboard shortcuts speed up the design process and make the software more enjoyable to use.
Menu Shortcuts
Shortcuts for menu commands are shown next to the commands themselves:
Toolbar Shortcuts
Shortcuts for toolbar commands can be seen by hoving over the button. You can also click the question mark icon to open the user guide to the section that describes the command.
Context-Sensitive Shortcuts
Some shortcuts change depending on what you are doing. For example, when moving an object, pressing the Enter key will prompt for manual distance and direction input. When scaling an object, however, pressing the Enter key will prompt for manual scale factor input. Context-sensitive shortcuts are displayed at the bottom of the screen.
