Keyboard Shortcuts
Shortcuts in SolidWorks are either
accelerator
keys or keyboard
shortcuts.
Accelerator Keys
Accelerator keys are available
for most menu items and in dialog boxes and are indicated by underlined
letters. They cannot be customized.
To display
the underlined letters for menus or on a dialog box, press Alt.
To access
a menu, press Alt plus the underlined
letter; for example Alt+F for
the File menu.
To execute
a command, after displaying the menu, with Alt
still pressed, press the underlined letter; for example, Alt+F,
then C to close the active document.

such as those displayed at the right of the menu, which can be customized.
