Some commands of the KOMPAS-3D system can be invoked using keyboard shortcuts. The list of default keyboard shortcuts is given in Appendix Key shortcuts to run commands.
If necessary, you can change the keyboard shortcut that calls a command as well as assign the required shortcut to a command which could not be called using the keyboard. These actions are performed in the Keyboard Settingsdialog, which is invoked by the Keyboard Settings... command from the Interface Settings button menu 
in the Main Menu bar of the KOMPAS-3D system.
Step-by-step instructions
1.From the list of system commands in KOMPAS-3D, displayed in the Keyboard Settings dialog, choose the command which a key shortcut needs to be assigned. Please note that the set of commands displayed in the dialog is limited to the selected application area.
For quick selection of the command, you can use the search toolbar.
After selecting the command in the right-hand part of its line a field appears to enter the key shortcut.
2.Set the cursor in the entry field ad press the desired key or key shortcut. It will appear in the field and will be assigned to the selected command.

Some key shortcuts are assigned to system commands – commands that perform various actions in the system. For example, the combination <Ctrl>+<Enter> completes object creation/editing operations, the combination <Ctrl>+<G> controls the display of the auxiliary grid in a graphic document, the key <F5> triggers reconstruction, etc. In the lines of such commands, a symbol If you enter one of such shortcuts for another command, the screen will display a message that you cannot assign it, and the entry will be cancelled. |

•To change it, press the new key shortcut.
•To delete, click the 
icon in the right part of the input field. Note that in this case you cannot use <Delete> or <BackSpace> keys to delete — when pressing any of these keys the contents of the field is replaced with the key name.
•To return to the default option, click Return value to default line located under the list of commands. The row is displayed in the dialog if the command by default has a keyboard shortcut assigned and this shortcut is changed.

A message will be displayed on the screen showing which command the shortcut is currently assigned to.
