And, up until last week, to change the active document I relied upon finding and selecting the tab from above the toolbar. This isn&#8217;t a problem when you have 2 or 3 documents open, but as that goes to 10 or 20, the [x] to close the document gets more and more likely to get accidentally selected&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8052\" src=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Screen-Shot-2017-06-26-at-10.40.19-AM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1517\" height=\"52\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Screen-Shot-2017-06-26-at-10.40.19-AM.png 1517w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Screen-Shot-2017-06-26-at-10.40.19-AM-300x10.png 300w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Screen-Shot-2017-06-26-at-10.40.19-AM-1024x35.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Screen-Shot-2017-06-26-at-10.40.19-AM-768x26.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1517px) 100vw, 1517px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>What I learned last week that will help in these cases, was that you can switch active documents with a keyboard shortcut. It you hit Ctrl (or Command) and the tilde key (~), you\u2019ll switch between those documents. This can be done with single hand, and can help you stay focused on what you&#8217;re designing, or switching to.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>But wait, there&#8217;s more! When I shared this with Michael Sagan, he came back with yet <strong>another\u00a0<\/strong>amazing &#8211;but hard to discover&#8211; shortcut. No teaser on that one; to see what that is, you&#8217;re just gonna have to watch the QUICK TIP:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"QUICK TIP: Discover the Undiscovered\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fxmY-atLbLg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I hope those help! A lot of the comments in YouTube suggest it should be something else, or that shortcuts should be customizable. To that I have an answer:\u00a0<strong>we&#8217;re listening<\/strong>! Until that happens, however, use this info to help gain efficiencies in Fusion 360.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Cheers,<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>(tilde)Aaron<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Want to switch active documents or show\/hide the data panel?
