You can navigate, edit, sketch, and model intuitively with your preferred input device in Shapr3D. If you’re using a pen, you can use the pen and your fingers to activate basic gestures. But if you don’t have a pen, you can use a keyboard with a mouse or trackpad to interact with the app and type in dimensional values. You can also easily sketch and model with a Wacom device.
To manage shortcuts, gestures, or hotkeys, go to Settings > Single Key Action and choose between Command Search and Hotkeys. When the Command Search setting is selected, you can start typing anywhere in the workspace the name of the tool you want to use, and a search box will automatically appear. When the Hotkeys setting is enabled, you can execute tools with their equivalent hotkey, and start Command Search with 'X' or 'Ctrl + F'.
Below is a cheat sheet that’ll show you hotkeys, shortcuts, and basic gestures for the keyboard, pen, mouse, and trackpad. You can also find this cheat sheet in the app by tapping Help > Keyboard Shortcuts, or by long-pressing the Control key.
