Using Shortcut Keys and Command Aliases
Autodesk Inventor provides shortcut keys and command aliases to help you
perform certain tasks more quickly. A command alias is an alphanumeric
character or character sequence used to start a command. Define a shortcut
by using any of the following keys or key combinations:
A punctuation key (including ` - = [ ] \ ; ' , . /), or one of the following
virtual keys: Home, End, Page Up, Page Down, Up Arrow, Down Arrow.
A combination of the SHIFT key along with a numeric key (0-9),
punctuation key, or one of the following virtual keys: Home, End, Page
Up, Page Down, Up Arrow, Down Arrow.
Any combination of SHIFT, CTRL, and ALT keys along with an alphanumeric
character.
Remember that some shortcut keys and command aliases are active in specific
environments only.
