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. Function 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.
