Fusion includes default shortcuts for common commands like Extrude, Line, Move, Press Pull, and Sketch Dimension, and you can create custom shortcuts for the commands you use most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can create custom keyboard shortcuts in Autodesk Fusion by finding a command in the toolbar or menu, selecting the three-dot menu, and choosing Change Keyboard Shortcut. Enter your preferred key or key combination, and Fusion will alert you if the shortcut conflicts with a reserved command.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"what-are-the-most-useful-keyboard-shortcuts-in-autodesk-fusion\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are the most useful keyboard shortcuts in Autodesk Fusion?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some of the most useful Autodesk Fusion keyboard shortcuts are S for command search, E for Extrude, L for Line, M for Move, Q for Press Pull, and D for Sketch Dimension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>S<\/strong>: Brings up the command search and design shortcuts menu anywhere in your workspace.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>E<\/strong>: Extrude your 2D sketch into 3D geometry.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>L<\/strong>: Draw a line in sketch mode.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>M<\/strong>: Activate the Move tool for repositioning elements.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Q<\/strong>: Use Press Pull for fast extrusions and cuts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>D<\/strong>: Sketch Dimension lets you quickly add precise measurements.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>P<\/strong>: Project geometry from elsewhere into your sketch plane.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>O<\/strong>: Offset selected sketch geometry.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>V<\/strong>: Toggle the visibility of selected bodies.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>F6<\/strong>: Zoom to fit your model in view.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Modifiers make these even more powerful. For example, holding&nbsp;<strong>Shift<\/strong>&nbsp;plus the middle mouse button lets you orbit, and using&nbsp;<strong>Ctrl<\/strong>&nbsp;with a number key changes display styles. Double-clicking the mouse wheel instantly fits the design to your screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"what-does-the-s-key-do-in-autodesk-fusion\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What does the S key do in Autodesk Fusion?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pressing S opens the Fusion Shortcut dialog, where you can search for commands and access frequently used tools. You can also add commands to the shortcuts area, making the S key a fast way to reach the tools you use most often.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"how-do-you-create-custom-keyboard-shortcuts-in-autodesk-fusion\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do you create custom keyboard shortcuts in Autodesk Fusion?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To create a custom keyboard shortcut in Autodesk Fusion, locate the command you want to customize, open its options menu, select Change Keyboard Shortcut, and enter your preferred key combination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"503\" src=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/KeyboardShortcut1-1024x503.gif\" alt=\"Keyboard shortcuts in Fusion.\" class=\"wp-image-40091\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/KeyboardShortcut1-1024x503.gif 1024w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/KeyboardShortcut1-300x147.gif 300w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/KeyboardShortcut1-768x377.gif 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">3.
