Did you know we have some keyboard shortcuts in Civil Site Design? If you spend a good amount of your design in the Vertical Grading Editor or regularly run key commands, such as open Model Viewer, you might be looking at some good time savers using keyboard shortcuts.
Less Navigating, More Designing
You can stop hunting for the icon in the Vertical Grading Editor to execute common commands such as Move IP, Slide IP and Volume Report. From within the Vertical Grading Editor window just hold down the Ctrl button and press a key: M for move, S for slide or E for a volume report.
We’ve also added keyboard shortcuts you can run from the CAD command line.
