Consult the following lists, if you want to use keyboard shortcuts to speed up the operation of logi.CAD 3.

Notes on the lists:

The Windows keyboard shortcuts are valid for all Windows operating systems supported by logi.CAD 3.
The Linux keyboard shortcuts are valid for the Linux operating system Ubuntu 12.10 with the graphical user interface GNOME 3. Other keyboard shortcuts might be valid for your Linux operating system and/or for your graphical user interface. Please inform logi.cals about such cases (see Getting support and help for reporting feedback).
The keyboard shortcuts are specified in capital letters (instead of lower case). You must press the Shift-key only if the list explicitly mentions Shift.
If keys are separated by character "+", you must press the specified keys at the same time (or you must press and hold the keys first mentioned until pressing the key last mentioned and releasing all keys together).
Example: Ctrl+C indicates that you must press key Ctrl and key C at the same time. Or you must press and hold Ctrl until pressing key C and releasing both keys together.
If keys are separated by character ",", you must press the specified keys one after another.
Example: Alt+Shift+Q, L indicates that you must press keys Alt, Shift and Q at the same time. Then you must release them and press key L.
Best practice is to use the Enter-key on the standard keyboard to trigger an action in logi.CAD 3. The Enter-key on the numeric keypad is not bound to be supported for all actions.

If more than 5,000 objects have been expanded, the key combination is supported, but the focus and selection in the Instances view is removed to improve the performance of the expansion. Also, to avoid blocking the subsequent user actions, logi.cals recommends that you do not press this key combination repeatedly in succession and do not use this key combination at all if a larger project is open in the Instances view.
