Put Your Extra Mouse Buttons to Use in SOLIDWORKS!
Summary
This article focuses on using a non-traditional way to assign hotkeys to your SOLIDWORKS session: Using your extra mouse buttons. SOLIDWORKS is designed to assign as hotkeys keyboard strokes and mouse gestures. SOLIDWORKS offers a variety of ways to shortcut your design efforts, making it comfortable for you by decreasing the number of clicks and menu engagements and screen-space navigation. Logitech offers a software that detects the type of mouse you are using and gives you the ability to customize your key assignments: The example in the image above assigns the key “S” to the lower side button which means whenever the lower side button is pressed in ANY active windows environment, it will be equivalent to pressing the S button on our keyboard. Additionally, allocating the upper side button (“Alt + F1”) in the Logitech software and also in SOLIDWORKS for the “Smart Dimension” command will give you a quick access.
