I thought I would start a thread featuring SW users' favorite timesavers, work-arounds, etc.
I'll start with a few basic ones:
Use Ctrl+Tab to switch between SW windows.
Use the "F" key for zoom-to-fit when you bump your mouse and the model disappears.
Make your own easy to remember hot-keys for often repeated commands. (I use this a LOT.{Save-as, open, close, wireframe view, shaded view, new asm. from part, etc.})
Customize mouse gestures and USE THEM!
Double-click inside a sketch to accept and exit.
Use relations as much as possible in sketches for better design intent.
Use your "S" hot key for quick commands.
The linear pattern feature can skip and vary instances for erratic spacing.
Use the revolve feature for "roundish" parts. You can do most of the part with only one feature vs. various extrudes and cuts.
Feel free to add to this. We can all learn new shortcuts.
