[solved] Looking for a shortcut in Sketcher

Post by dingolino »

Hi,

I am not quite sure but I thought there is a shortcut in sketcher to toggle through elements which are very close to each other or a short line over a long line when using a master sketch for example. I am not quite sure whether this shortcut is only in the realthunder Version or in the toponaming version as well. In the FreeCAD wiki/doku I found nothing.

Best regards,

dingolino

Please don't crosspost to another forum before having waited for a reasonable time, which is a day or two. And if you got an answer in the other place, either remove the double post, or give the answer yourself; seee https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=75687.

The point is that I got no answer there yet. I received the following feedback:

>Hallo dingolino,
>habe schon länger nicht mit der Realthunder Version gearbeitet, aber sie vor längerer Zeit genauer unter die Lupe genommen. Ich meine, dass seine >Sketcher-Version das kann.
>Viele Grüße, Wilfried

"Hello dingolino,
I haven´t worked with the Realthunder Version since quite a while, but evaluated it seriously a while ago. I think, that his Sketcher Version is capable to do so.
Best regards, Wilfried"

But unfortunalty no shortcut is given and for me this was the reason to ask the same question in this toponaming english forum, hoping that it would be the better place for the question.

If there will a positive answer I will be more than happy to post it in english ... ;-)

See you

I think you might mean the pick geometry tool – the Sketcher shortcut is GG and you will find a video demonstration here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vUZezMhwwow
