Tune your shortcuts. You can edit your keyboard shortcuts without the hassle of rooting
through your hard drive looking for a TXT file. To edit your shortcuts, click the Application
menu and select Options. Choose the User Interface tab and then click the Customize but-
ton. The Keyboard Shortcuts dialog box (Figure B.19) will allow you to edit those shortcuts.
Consider making common shortcuts the same letter. So instead of pressing VG to get to your
Visibility/Graphic Overrides dialog box, make the shortcut VV for quicker access.

Drag and drop families. You need to load a family into a project, you have the Explorer
window open, and you know where the family is, but you don’t want to go through the labo-
rious effort of navigating across your office’s server environment to get there. No problem.
You can drag and drop families from Explorer directly into the project file.
Double-click families to edit. You no longer need to highlight a family and then mouse
all the way to the ribbon to choose Edit Family. If you want to edit the family, simply double-
click it and the family will launch in the Family Editor. You can customize other double-click
settings in the Options dialog box, accessed on the Application menu.
Double-click the mouse wheel to activate the Zoom to Fit command for even faster view
navigation!
