Hotkeys in SMC

Tips and Tricks Central Innovation 5 October 2015

In this Tip we show you the shortcuts (or ‘hot keys) that can be used to quickly access useful functions in Solibri Model Checker.

You can quickly find information on these hotkeys by hovering the pointer over items within SMC to display a tooltip with a listing of corresponding hotkeys:

Section Tool hotkey tooltip
Section Tool hotkey tooltip

NOTE: If you are working on a Mac, and are unsure of the keyboard symbols displayed in the tooltip, you can find a listing of these symbols here:
OS X Yosemite: What are those symbols shown in menus?

Below, we have created a table of some of our most used short cuts, or ones that we find particularly helpful to know. By applying these short cuts, significant time can be saved changing between functions or tools in SMC. Once you have incorporated some of these short cuts into your workflow, you should quickly notice improved efficiency.
