Exit Sketch

James Moynagh Mar 6, 2013 3:49 AM

Hi folks,

We upgraded to Solidworks 2013 last week in our office, and in order to upgrade we had to get new pc's with windows 7. Its like a different world now with the new pc's. Anyway's have a quick question, I would have used the mouse gestures option for a few certain tasks, in sketching mode I would have had exit sketch when I moved the mouse down, so I can exit the sketch quickly. I went to set up my mouse gesture shortcuts this week but I can't find the option for exiting the sketch so my only way to exit is click the icon in the top corner which is that bit slower. Does anyone know has this shortcut been taken out of 2013 or where can I find it?

Regards,

James

Hey James,

Nah, that shortcut is still definitely there in 2013. You'll find it under the "Insert" Categort and comes as "Sketch." Here's a screenshot which will help:

Probably not of much use now. But copy settings wizard would have got your SW install running just like it always did in a few clicks. It's worth looking into. I save a profile every month or 2 so that my latest settings are handy incase I'm forced into an unscheduled re-install.
