Menu bar and shortcut keys

If you prefer your menus to remain open in the ribbon, click the green pin icon in the quick-access bar, or double-click the menu item.

If the menu bar is pinned open and if your mouse has a wheel, you can hover over any portion of the menu and roll the mouse wheel forward or backward to navigate between menus.

When hovering the mouse pointer over an item in the menu bar, the tool tip that appears lists the shortcut key and a brief description of the command itself.

These shortcut keys provide quick access to many routine or often-repeated commands, such as defining an area (F4), drawing free form (F5), viewing calculations (F6), moving a sketch (M), or line editing (Ctrl + L).

Note: You cannot use a shortcut key while a menu is pulled down.
