Assign Shortcuts in Inventor
November 4, 2008, 06:08 PM Garin Gardiner
Having an AutoCAD background, I have a little baggage and want to do some things in Inventor similar to how I did them in AutoCAD. One thing I often do when I first install Inventor is set up short cuts to often used commands. For those of you like me, below are a few steps to help you set up your keyboard shortcuts.
In Inventor select Tools > Customize then select the Keyboard tab. One shortcut I often use it to make the period key "." as a coincident constraint in the sketcher. To do this I will change the category to Sketch to filter out everything else. I will then select the Coincident constraint command and select to the left site to input a key.
If I select the Period key it will notify me this is already assigned to Work Points and ask me if I wan to "remove the old assignment". If I select Yes, when in a sketch and I select ".", it will start the coincident command. If you prefer multi-character shortcuts, you can select "Use default multi-character command Aliases" which will act more like AutoCAD shortcuts.
