MAP a key to complete a sketch

Andrew Nelson Feb 11, 2009 1:28 PM

OK, I am not sure how to describe this. I want to map the function of a key, lets say "ALT+1, or the number '1' key alone" to allow me to complete a sketch. I don't want to have to go to the top-right side of the screen every time to complete a sketch, or feature. It would be so much faster to just press a key, or key combo to complete the command.

HOW can I do this?

RMC in an open area of any tool bar. Select customize then keyboard. You can now set any available command to a key stroke.

  Andrew, rebuild will exit the sketch as you are saying. And rebuild can be mapped.

Hi Andrew,

In addition to Troy's message, if you need a quick way of exiting a 2D sketch, you can double click on the screen background. You can enter it again by double clicking any sketch geometry. Enter or Esc should get you out of most feature commands.

Regards,
Andy Fraser.

GREAT... I already had rebuild mapped. That is all I needed.

Thanks everyone.
