Why Create Shortcuts?

Shortcuts are essential for improving efficiency, especially when working on complex projects. They allow you to access key commands with a single keystroke, reducing reliance on the mouse and speeding up repetitive tasks. This is especially helpful in a fast-paced design environment where every second counts.

Steps to Create Shortcuts in CATIA 3DEXPERIENCE

1. Open the Command Editor

To start creating shortcuts, you first need to access the Command Editor.

2. Select the Command

In the Commands window, you will see a list of all available commands. You can search for the command you want to assign a shortcut to using the search bar or navigate through the categories.

Click on the command you want to assign to a shortcut. Then, click on "Show Properties".

You can now customize this command with an alias and a shortcut.

 Best Practices for Creating Shortcuts

• Choose Logical Combinations: Use key combinations that make sense and are easy to remember based on the function of the command.
• Avoid Conflicts: Be mindful of existing shortcuts to avoid conflicts with other commands.
• Use Modifier Keys: Combine Ctrl, Alt, or Shift with letters or numbers to create unique shortcuts.
• Consistency: Create shortcuts only for frequently used commands. Too many shortcuts can have the opposite effect.

Conclusion

Creating shortcuts in CATIA 3DEXPERIENCE can significantly improve your productivity by allowing quicker access to commands. In just a few simple steps, you can customize your workspace to better meet your needs, enabling a more efficient and smoother design process.
