solidworks viewpoint handle in 2016 3

[farzadtb]

Hi all

the solidworks 2016 has a harder viewpoint handliing system and it needs more clicks to get your view , is there a shorter way to set it up, for example have the normal view , outside of the icons group ?

Ctrl+1 Front view
Ctrl+2 Rear view
Ctrl+3 Right view
Ctrl+4 Left view
Ctrl+5 Top view
Ctrl+6 Bottom view
Ctrl+7 ISO view
Ctrl+8 Normal To

You can also customize the 'S' key and have the 'Normal to' button there.

No need for customization. The list Jeff posted is the default setup.

The Spacebar will also activate the Orientation Dialog Box.

Hit your 'S' key, then right click on the pop-up->customize. Find the correct icon and drag it onto the pop-up.

I created a blog post that went into customizing keyboard shortcuts for view manipulation. The post goes into how to do it for SolidWorks, Catia and Abaqus. I hope this helps.
