Shortcut Keys

[Paul Wood]

Is there a manual, or a list of shortcut keys ( ie control Z = undo) available

[Lee Gregory]

It depends what is meant by short cut keys.

Ctrl+s, Ctrl+S - saves the project
Ctrl+z , Ctrl+Z- undo

Ctrl+r, Ctrl+R - redraws the view with the focus

In many text editing situations
Ctrl+x, Ctrl+X, - cut
Ctrl+y, Ctrl+Y, - copy
Ctrl+z, Ctrl+Z, - paste

Also the Standard Microsoft Alt+ should work in V110.
For example Alt+o+e will exit 12d.

But all the others are set in the file userkeyps.4d which the installation will place in set_ups or your company may have their own company elsewhere on the computer.

The 12d installed userkeys.4d for V10 is

thanks for sharing such an informative post, its really helpful for computer learning beginners

[Lee Gregory]

All that and more is documented in the 12d Model Reference manual 12d.pdf, and the context sensitive help.

[Leigh Wave]

Is there anyway to repeat the last command?

For example to assign a key as in Autocad when space bar repeats last command

[Matthew Monk]

No, there is no way to repeat the last command, but many of the commands in 12d will continue running until cancelled. For example, the Cad 2 point line keeps running until you Cancel it. That's even faster and easier than hitting a key to repeat the last command.

As always, check out what 12d is doing and expecting you to do in the status area (just above the Output Window).
