Hi,
In 2015 I could set the "start a new sketch or edit a selected sketch"(Basically the main sketch option) to the CTRL+E option on my keyboard shortcuts. Not only are all the symbols for " Sketch" the same Icon in 2016 but I've tried the shortcut on all of them and I cannot get it to work. Anyone else have this problem and/or know how to fix it?
Thanks!
Make sure you are assigning the keyboard shortcut to the Insert Sketch command. I just assigned Ctrl + E to the command and verified that it works for both starting a sketch, and exiting a sketch. Screen shot of the Customize dialog box from SOLIDWORKS 2016, showing the keyboard assignment:
It is a pretty handy keyboard shortcut.
Hope this helps.
