Customizing keyboard shortcuts via customize dialogue

 

Scia Engineer provides possibility to define user shortcuts in customize menu.

See the default keyboard shortcuts.

Those shortcuts can be replaced and re defined in customize menu as well

Keyboard tab

This tab offers a list of all available commands and possibility to assign keyboard shortcut to them.

You can search for commands through search text line or click into the list and start typing first letters of command you looking for.

Description field can help you to find what you are looking for.

You can see if the command has already assigned an shortcut and you will be notified in case you will try to assign keyboard shortcut which is already in use by other command.

"Reset all" button will discard all user-defined shortcuts and return the setting to factory default.

Carry the customised shortcuts between different computers

The settings adjusted on one computer can be easily transferred to another computer. It can be useful, for example, if one engineer works on several different computers or if a team wants to share the same settings.

The settings made by the user are stored in folder for "User settings files" that is defined in the Setup > Options dialogue.

Look for .useracc file in user folder. Just simply copy this file and input it under the user folder on another computer

TIP: you can use customize dialogue to assign shortcuts for commands to open services in main tree and make your workflow much faster
