Keytips
Autodesk Navisworks provides accelerator keys, or keytips, to enable you to use the keyboard, rather than the
mouse, to interact with the application window.
Keytips are provided for the application menu, Quick Access toolbar, and ribbon. You can still use ‘old style’
keyboard shortcuts, such as CTRL + N to open a new file, and CTRL + P to print the current file.
To display keytips, press ALT. The keytips (letters or numbers) are shown on the screen next to the corresponding
command or user interface element. Press the displayed accelerator key to immediately invoke the desired
command or to show the user interface element. For example, pressing ALT, and then pressing 1 creates a new
file.
To hide the keytips, press ALT again.

Navigation Tools
The navigation bar provides access to tools related to interactive navigation and orientation in the model
including Autodesk
®
ViewCube
®
and SteeringWheels.
You can customize the navigation bar based on what you consider important to show. You can also change the
docking position of the navigation bar in the Scene View.
The Classic User Interface
If you prefer, you can switch back to the Classic user interface, and use the toolbars and pull-down menus from
the menu bar instead of the ribbon.
To switch to the Classic user interface
1 Click the application button ➤ Options.
2 In the Options Editor, expand the Interface node, and click the User Interface option.
3 On the User Interface page, select Classic from the User Interface drop-down list.
4 Click OK.
Menu Bar
The Menu bar contains all commands available in Autodesk Navisworks, grouped together by similar or 'like'
functionality.
For example, all commands related to review functionality are located under the Review menu, all commands
related to user assistance are located under the Help menu and so on.
When a menu has a right-pointing arrow, such as
, there is a submenu associated with that
choice.
