Shortcuts
In the DesignCad software, in addition to the general shortcuts (Del, Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V, etc.), many functions also have predefined shortcuts.
The functions with assigned shortcuts are displayed to the right of the function name in the menu of each window.
To customize these predefined functions;
All pages are opened from the File menu using the Options icon, and the Shortcuts tab is selected.
