Dialog Box Keyboard Shortcuts

Thursday, October 25th, 2018

Many Design Master dialog boxes can be navigated using keyboard shortcuts. The shortcuts available depend upon the dialog box.

To see which buttons and fields have an associated shortcut, press the ALT key. An underline will appear under a letter in the text of each button or field to denote its shortcut, as shown below.

     

In this case, the keyboard shortcut for the New button is ALT+N.

For keyboard shortcuts in the Circuiting dialog box in Design Master Electrical, see Inserting Fixed Loads Without Using the Mouse.

The table below lists keyboard shortcuts that are commonly available in schedule dialog boxes.
