NX Hints and Tips – Rapid Sketches WITH Keyboard Shortcuts
Last week, I highlighted a video showing how to rapidly create sketches.This time, we’ll use a number of NX shortcuts.
As you can see, by adding the shortcuts you can be much more productive.
Some of the shortcuts mentioned in the video are:
- To create a new part file, press Ctrl N.
- To hide the WCS, press the W key.
- To switch to the isometric view, press the End key.
- To switch to the nearest orthographic view, press F8.
- To create a sketch and start the Profile command, press Z.
- To start the Constraints command, press C.
- To start the Dimensions command, press D.
- To start the Arc command, press A.
- To exit the sketch, press Ctrl Q.
- To display the Insert menu, press Alt S.
- To display the Design Feature menu, press E.
- And to start the Revolve command, press R.
- To create a sketch and start the Profile command, press Z.
That wraps up my NX8.0 video series.For more information on other help topics, please check the NX Technical Documentation.It’s a great resource for NX users.
