Keyboard shortcuts for CATIA

November 18, 2018 Mark Potrzebowski

This video shows how to use keyboard shortcuts within CATIA V5. There are a few ways in which a user is able to use keyboard shortcuts and here we demonstrate each practice and how it can be best implemented. This video also demonstrates both creating custom shortcuts and how to navigate the built-in shortcuts in CATIA.

This topic is covered in the Rand 3D CATIA V5: Introduction to Modeling Class. For more information, visit www.Rand 3D.com or contact us: training@rand.com
