1 SOLIDWORKS 2017 Keyboard Modifiers & Shortcuts Copy/Paste Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V These are similar in functionality to Windows. Sketches Copies and pastes sketch entities. Part Copies and pastes sketches. Assemblies Copies and pastes parts and subassemblies. If you select a feature in the FeatureManager design tree, you can copy and paste the feature as an assembly-level feature. Drawings Copies and pastes drawing views. Sketches Copies sketch entities. Parts Copies features. Assemblies Copies parts and subassemblies. Drawings Copies drawing views. Dimensions and annotations Alt + Spec. Value ` Key Ctrl + MM Wheel Alt + MM Wheel Ctrl Turns off automatic alignment when you place dimensions and annotations Moves an annotation independently from the group in which it is contained Disables distance snapping/spacing when moving dimensions Insert Windows symbols via Alt Codes Alt = Diameter Ø symbol Creates additional leaders when you press while dragging on leader s arrowhead Copy dimension from one view to another Snaps dimension to the max/min of arcs and circles with the Smart dimension Change annotation view plane for a dimension or annotation While editing dimension value increases by 10x default value While editing dimension value increases by 0.1x default value With dimension selected, shows Dimension Palette by mouse cursor

2 Sketching Holding Ctrl Holding Shift Suppresses inference lines when dragging an endpoint Symmetrically adjusts both handles of a control point in a spline Turns off automatic sketch relations Turns on snapping When sketching a line, the line snaps to grid Changes the XYZ plane when sketching in a 3D sketch Snap entity points to grid spacing in Document options Display Alt + Arrow Keys MMB Shift + Arrow Keys Shift + Z Z MMB F G Alt + MMWheel Ctrl + Spacebar Spacebar Ctrl + Click Ctrl + Arrow Keys Shift + UCS Axis Alt + UCS Axis Roll view normal to screen Rotates model parallel to the viewing plane Rotates the model 90 degrees Zooms the model in Zooms the model out Zooms the model in and out about screen center Zooms to fit Shows hidden body or component when you hover over Magnifying Glass Shows section view when using the magnifying glass Opens the View Selector Opens the View Selector and Orientation dialog box Opens Appearance property manager when you drag an appearance from the Task Pane onto a model. Select face to be normal to, then Ctrl + Click face to designate as the Up face and press Normal To Pan Model Rotate 90 around selected UCS axis Rotate clockwise around selected UCS axis based on View Rotation Arrow Keys Value

3 Move Ctrl + Arrow Keys Ctrl + MMB Pan a model Pan a model Sketches Moves a set of sketch entities Parts Move a feature Drawings Moves the selected drawing view and any associated views together. Also used to move a dimension from one view to another. Selection Ctrl + Click Shift Lets you select the back faces in the View selector cube Lets you select multiple entities Lets you select a transparent face on a part Selects everything within the two selected items in the FeatureManager design tree. Sheet Metal Flips the direction of a forming tool Sketching Hold Ctrl Symmetrically adjusts both control point handles on a spline Suppresses inference lines when dragging an endpoint Turns off automatic sketch relations Turns on snapping Snaps sketch line to grid points Changes the XYZ plane when in 3D sketch

4 User Interface Ctrl + B Ctrl + Q Ctrl + R Ctrl + Enter S Rebuilds the model Force Rebuilds entire model Redraws the screen Moves between open documents Repeats the last command Opens the shortcut bar Assemblies Alt + Shift + Ctrl + Shift + Right-click + Drag Alt + Right-click + Drag Shift + Arrow Keys Mates Creates a SmartMate when you use on a component Motion Studies Moves multiple keys in the Motion Manager Triad Aligns the triad with an edge or face when you use the center ball or handle when you drop it Reordering Components Ensures the component remains at the same level in the tree and prevents it being moved into a subassembly Using on yellow sphere in explode step changes direction Changes direction when using Move with Triad sphere Copy a component and create a SmartMate Copies a component when you drag In assembly with preselected components, it inverts the selection when you use a selection box Creates a part instead of a configuration when you drag Toolbox component into an assembly Copies multiple keys in the MotionManager Hides components below the mouse pointer Rotates a component 90 while inserting Shows components below the mouse pointer Rotates a component -90 while inserting Displays all hidden components and then you can select which ones to see Invokes Mouse Gestures Rotates component relative to the assembly origin Invokes Mouse Gestures instead of rotating component Reorients routing component while inserting

5 Drawing Shift Allows selection anywhere on table to move it Views Breaks the alignment when inserting Views Copy from one sheet to another Annotations Copies annotation without snapping to grid Select one edge in view if multiple edges are collinear While projecting views, hold Shift and select a new parent view to start projecting from GoEngineer Suggestions M Shift + P Shift + M T Measure Tool File Properties Mate Show/Hide Temporary Axis
