Bruce Kieffer Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Are there any keyboard shortcuts to change the selection marquee from rectangular to lasso to polygonal? Quote Link to comment
taoist Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Does "U" cycle to the others? Quote Link to comment
michaelk Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 "U" cycles the first group. "I" cycles the second group "O" cycles the third group "P" cycles the fourth group So "O" cycles the rectangular marquee, lasso marquee, polygonal marquee. hth mk Quote Link to comment
Bruce Kieffer Posted August 2, 2013 Author Share Posted August 2, 2013 MK, How do you know this stuff! I did a few VW help searches without any luck, and I tried the VW help "what's this on the mode button, nothing there either. Then I remembered the settings are hidden in the workspace editor. After I found them there, I then did a VW Help search for "mode shortcuts" and that brought up the info. I've said this before... I look forward to the day that "VW's Help" is helpful. I do appreciate your help. Quote Link to comment
michaelk Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 I made a map to try to figure out the method to the madness. http://verysmallgroup.com/santa-barbara-vectorworks/movies-and-stuff/keyboard-short-cuts.html It helped. Quote Link to comment
atari2600 Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 I originally stumbled across these particular snap keys when reading about the "Tool Bar" description, found under "The Fundamentals Workspace" section in the help guide. Fwiw, I notice some of our 5+year VW users don't even know that these exist, and what they are good for. If I were to sneak up and switch their selection too mode to lasso-mode, they'd freak out.

Jonathan Pickup Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 (edited) you will find all the hot keys on the Workspace editor. It shows you the hot keys for things like the snaps, Mode groups, and other keys. Edited August 6, 2013 by Jonathan Pickup Quote Link to comment
