Has anyone created any hotkeys for Viacad. I'm looking for ideas...

So far I have for Show->Hide...h (think "hide")
and for Show->Show All...u (think "unhide all")

Any other ideas?

Most Cad users use a bunch of shortcut keys. Here are some of mine.
l - line
o - offset curve
f - fillet curves
h - match face
m - mirror
c - circle
a - arc
x - trim
g - group objects
u - ungroup objects
O - sets workplane origin
P - pick 3 points workplane
F - Front workplane
S - side workplane
T - Top workplane
U - top view
B - Bottom view
L - left view
R - right view

Also right clicking will bring up commands like hide, show only, and several more.
Also, you can make a custom tool pallet with your most used tools. That helps a bunch.

Yes, except for the default hotkeys. You learn quickly if you look up the hotkey every time you don't know it.

Thanks,
