    Hot Keys

    I don't know if this has been addressed before but in the Tutorial there have been mentions of Keyboard strokes or hotkeys. I can't seem to find anything about them in the writen part. Anyone have a clue as to where they might be listed? This program has a long learning curve.

    I only know of 'R' for re-draw.

    I agree, a complete list would be useful. Maybe you could post this request on the yahoo dolphin forum where you will most likely get a relpy from the actual sw writers.

    Good afternoon,

    These are the Hot keys used in Cad - Cam doesn't have any.

    F = No Snap (Previous version sed the term Finite, hence the F
    N = Near snap
    G = Grid snap
    M =Mid point snap
    Q = Quadrant snap
    C = Centre point snap - of an Arc or Circle
    I = Intersection snap - where two elements intersect.

    Other keyboard selections are ;-
    Del = Delete - used when you have "Select" to hightlite elements
    Shift = Select the end point of an element rather than the element itself - See Dimensions - Help

    Pressing any other keys will put the character into the X,Y, coordinate window. The characters allowed here are X,Y,Z,A (Angle) L (Length)

    Windy,
    They do watch, don't they? You may not always get an answer but this sure does prove that the site is being watched.
